Code provisions do not necessarily address all the characteristics of buildings that might be considered to have a bearing on the Codeβs objectives. Through an extensive consensus process at the national and provincial levels, the code-user community has decided which characteristics should be regulated through the NBC(AE).
The NBC(AE) is not a textbook on building design or construction. The design of a technically sound building depends upon many factors beyond simple compliance with building regulations. Such factors include the availability of knowledgeable practitioners who have received appropriate education, training and experience and who have some degree of familiarity with the principles of good building practice and experience using textbooks, reference manuals and technical guides.
