For contractors

No. Your obligations on existing Building Code 2013 projects don’t change once you become a code covered entity. However, you’ll be required to comply with the Code on any new projects, including private projects that you express interest in or tender for after becoming a code covered entity.

Once you become a code covered entity, you’re required to comply with the Code on all new privately funded projects.

However, you don’t need to ensure that your subcontractors comply with the Code on privately funded construction sites unless they are a related entity to you.

You’re no longer required to ensure subcontractor compliance on a Building Code 2013 project. It’s our responsibility to monitor compliance of subcontractors on Building Code 2013 projects.
