For those interested in understanding the Ontario Building Code, the first group to focus on includes housing construction managers and professional designers mentioned above. Real estate developers, contractors, or individuals planning to build their own homes can benefit from understanding the OBC, as it helps avoid unnecessary mistakes and saves resources. For professionals seeking jobs as architects , engineers and designers, familiarity with the local code can enhance their employability. Personnel from contractors who understand building code can quickly adapt the designs and work to comply with the OBC. Additionally, real estate agents, home inspectors, homeowners undertaking renovations, and potential homebuyers may also find knowledge of the Ontario Building Code beneficial.
The current Ontario Building Code is based on its latest version, completed in 2024 and already in effect. The code consists of 12 parts. Most people find the Building Code is complex and difficult to understand, especially since the current version of the OBC is newly revised, with many added and amended sections. To address this, the Tauton Training Center has launched an OBC application program aimed at further promoting the Ontario Building Code, helping more professionals understand and apply the OBC. This program also aims to assist those seeking professional jobs by enhancing their knowledge in this area.
