What does the Building Code NOT cover?

The Building Code primarily focuses on the regulations and standards that govern the construction, alteration, and occupancy of buildings to ensure safety, accessibility, and health standards. This encompasses a range of topics such as fire safety measures, which dictate how buildings should be designed and constructed to protect occupants from fire hazards, and energy efficiency regulations, which set requirements to reduce energy consumption and enhance sustainability.

Public health standards are often included as they relate to the safe construction and operation of buildings, ensuring that they do not pose health risks to occupants.

However, financing building projects is outside the scope of the Building Code. Financing pertains to the economic aspects of construction, including costs, funding sources, and financial planning, which are not regulated by the Building Code. The Code is technical in nature, focusing on physical and structural aspects of buildings, rather than financial arrangements or economic viability related to building projects.
