Who is referred to as the 'director' in the Building Code Act?

The term 'director' in the Building Code Act specifically refers to the individual appointed as the director under section 2. This position carries the authority to enforce the provisions of the Building Code and oversees the administration of the Act. This relevant role is crucial in maintaining compliance and ensuring that building standards are upheld across the regulatory framework.

While the head of the municipal building department, the chief inspector of building projects, and an elected official overseeing building regulations may have important responsibilities related to building compliance and enforcement, they do not hold the specific title of 'director' as defined in the Building Code Act. The role of the director encompasses a broader mandate and direct accountability under the legislation itself, which sets it apart from other positions within the municipal or regulatory hierarchy.
