Letters of Assurance: 2018 BC Building Code Schedules B, and C-B

Schedule B must be submitted with the application for a building permit and Schedule C-B must be submitted before an Occupancy Permit is issued.

The Letters of Assurance schedules to the BC Building Code include Schedules B, and C-B, which are intended to identify the responsibilities of some key players in a construction project. Their use and application are as follows:

  • Schedule B identifies the various registered professionals who acknowledge responsibility for certain portions of the design and that it substantially complies with the BC Building Code and other applicable enactments respecting safety except for construction safety aspects. They also provide a commitment to be responsible for the field review required for the project. NOTE: Registered professionals must also provide proof of liability insurance.
  • Schedule C-B confirms that the necessary field reviews have been completed and the finished project substantially conforms to the registered professional's design and the BC Building Code.

Certification of Plans

A structural engineer registered in British Columbia must seal the drawings to ensure the building will withstand the loads listed below. A schedule B shall accompany certified plans.

Climatic Data

Please reference BC Building Code Division B – Appendix C.

For detailed snow load information, refer to the RMOW Permits and Inspections Bulletin - Snow Loads for elevation based snow load data specific to Whistler

Seismic Data

Please reference BC Building Code Division B – Appendix C.

Field Reviews by the Engineer

The building inspector may require copies of the engineer’s field reviews. The engineer shall establish and certify, through design and appropriate field review, the adequacy of the soil bearing and structural elements.

The engineer’s specifications must be followed in detail, in conjunction with good building practices and the BC Building Code. The engineer of record must approve any changes and forward them in writing to the building inspector. The building inspector may require sealed drawings of the changes.

NOTE: If structural components or material are substituted with different components, the structural engineer must submit approval to the building inspector even if a component of apparently superior strength is being used. Framing may be rejected if written approval by the engineer has not been submitted.

A Schedule C-B must be submitted at the completion of the project.

BC Energy Step Code Pre-Construction Compliance Report

All new Part 9 residential buildings are required to meet the BC Energy Step Code.  To confirm compliance with the BC Energy Step Code, applications for these projects must be accompanied by a BC Energy Step Code Pre-Construction Compliance report.  Learn more here.

Home Warranty Insurance for New Homes or Substantial Reconstruction

The Homeowner Protection Act provides for the licensing of residential builders and makes third-party warranties mandatory on new home construction throughout the province. The licensing and warranty systems work together to ensure that builders meet minimum standards and consumers are protected with a strong, third-party warranty should a construction defect occur.

Please provide proof of Home Warranty Insurance registration as a licenced builder or an owner-builder, in the form of a New Home Registration Form. See Figure 5.3 Sample of New Home Registration Form, right.

The Homeowner Protection Act requires Home Warranty Insurance for:

  • A new single family or duplex home.
  • A new auxiliary building with a suite (also known as a detached dwelling unit, carriage home, laneway home, coach home).
  • A home or duplex that is or is being substantially reconstructed.
    • Renovations do not normally require New Home Registration, however it is required in the case where a project is deemed to be “Substantially reconstructed” as defined by the Homeowner Protection Act. Although each case must be examined on its own merits and the final determination made by BC Housing, a home that has been changed so that 25% or less of the original structure above foundation remains, or 75% or more of the reconstructed home is new, the home is deemed to be “substantially reconstructed” and is a new home for the purposes of the Act.
      • If assistance is needed to determine whether a project meets the criteria of “substantially reconstructed,” email the Licensing and Consumer Services branch of BC Housing the project information at licensinginfo@bchousing.org or review the BC Housing Substantially reconstructed homes (No.6).

For more information, please call BC Housing Licensing & Consumer Services at 1-800-407-7757 or visit their website.

WorkSafe BC Notice of Project

A WorkSafe BC Notice of Project is required when:

  • The value of construction is greater than $100,000,
  • The project has been designed by a professional engineer, or
  • Hazardous materials have been detected

Before starting work activity on projects where hazardous materials are present, owners, contractors, and/or employers are required by the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation to send WorkSafe BC written notice. This can be done online with a Notice of Project (NOP) form.

Type of project:  Asbestos, lead or other similar exposure work activity

  • Notice of project is required at least at least 48 hours prior to starting work.

Please refer to Work Safe BC OHS regulation 20.2.1(1).

Building department fees

The fees that may be charged on a Building Permit are outlined in Schedule B of Building and Plumbing Regulation Bylaw No. 1617

Building Permit Fees

Building Permit fees are calculated based on the value of construction declared by the owner of authorized agent on the application checklist.

Table 1 of Schedule B of Building and Plumbing Regulation Bylaw No. 1617 can be used to calculate a Building Permit fee based on the declared value of construction. 

Additional fees that apply to Building Permits are also listed within the schedule.

Building Permit Application Fee

The plan processing fee is non-refundable and is due in whole or in part upon application for a building permit.

New Construction

Highway Use, Clearing and Inspection Fee

A Highway Use, Clearing and Inspection Fee is charged on permits where excavation or construction works are being conducted within 10 meters of a municipal roadway, sewer, drain, water main or other municipal work.

Works and Service Charges

In addition to Building Permit fees, Works and Service charges may be payable on the property.  These fees are used for improvements to infrastructure, as development leads to an increase in the demand for water, sewer, transportation, recreation and employee housing.  To review the amounts of these charges, and when these charges are payable, please refer to the following bylaws:

  • RMOW Water Works and Services Charges Bylaw No. 1503
  • RMOW Sewer Works and Services Charges Bylaw No. 1504
