The Building Code Number in Ontario (BCIN)
The Ontario Provincial Government’s Bill 124 became effective January 1, 2006 and requires that a Building Code Identification Number (BCIN) appear on all drawings being submitted for a building permit.
What does it mean: When it comes to the Building industry and residential architecture, the province of Ontario has introduced a new law in January of 2006. That law states that a house plan designer needs to have his “Building Code Identification Number“,, which he will receive after he succeeds a test and after providing a proof of insurability with the Municipal Affairs and Housing Ministry.
The Ontario Building industry has established a good solution to improve safety and protect customers and also increase efficiency of the Building Code by eliminating all house plan designers that couldn’t be insured or that have failed the test.
Drummond Designs, having complied with the requirements, was issued registration to engage in the business of providing design activities to the public, subject to the Ontario Building Code and therefore will provide at no extra cost and for its entire house plan collection, its BCIN# on all construction drawings and blueprints.
If you have any comments on this new registration information, do not hesitate to let us know!
Have a safe and good experience with your new construction project!
