CODE 105 - Building Codes
Course Description
Our 36-hour Building Codes course will familiarize you with policies and procedures involving land use bylaws, municipal regulations, the national building code, the provincial building code and fire codes that affect construction projects.

All course materials are included and accessible in the Brightspace (D2L) learning platform from your personal computer.
