Building Code Reviews in Ottawa

R.Viau Drafting & Design has effectively provided Ottawa with Building Code Reviews for all kinds of projects for the last 35 years.

We'll help identify your project's limitations whenever you are making changes to a building or structure that could affect its safety, structural integrity, accessibility, or other elements regulated by building codes.

When is a Building Code Review essential?

New construction

Any new building, whether residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional, must undergo a building code review to ensure it complies with all applicable codes.

Major Alterations

If you are making major changes to the layout of your home or building, a Building Code Review will identify the requirements necessary to be compliant.

Adding units

Whether you're adding a room or a second storey, any addition to an existing building needs to comply with the building code. This includes ensuring that the addition is structurally sound, has appropriate means of egress and complies with fire safety standards.

Accessibility Modifications

If you need modifications done to your building to provide more accessibility such as adding ramps, providing wider door ways or adjusting bathrooms, a Building Code Review will reveal all your requirements.
