Are you in the business of renovating buildings?
If so, one of the best ways to ensure Code compliance is to follow the advice contained in the recently published User's Guide - NBC 1995, Application of Part 9 to Existing Buildings, which deals with the application of the NBC to existing housing and small buildings. For larger buildings, you can consult the User's Guide - NBC 1995, Fire Protection, Occupant Safety and Accessibility (Part 3). Whether you're renovating, expanding, changing the occupancy of a building, or checking code compliance, these easy-to-read guides clearly explain the principles by which National Building Code (NBC) requirements should be applied to existing buildings. Included in the recently published User's Guide dealing with housing and small buildings are more than 50 examples of typical problems that may arise when a building is renovated or its occupancy changed. The Guide suggests solutions, together with an explanation as to how the alternative design solutions were reached. Also provided are the intents of each and every Article in NBC Part 9.
The User's Guides are now available for $47 each. You'll likely save yourself and your client many times this amount on your very next renovation project. Interested?
