What BC roofing contractors work under

The rules a BC roofing business meets most often: which code applies where, who decides on permits, the 2026 door-to-door changes, and WorkSafeBC.

BC Building Code 2024, and Vancouver’s own by-law

The BC Building Code 2024 came into effect March 8, 2024, with in-stream projects given until March 8, 2027. The BC Codes do not apply in the City of Vancouver, which has its own building by-law. Everywhere else, the local authority having jurisdiction decides how the code applies to a permit.

Builder licensing is about new homes

BC Housing’s residential builder licence is for people building new homes: general contractors, developers and building envelope renovators. Its building envelope renovation rules do not apply to buildings with only one or two units.

Door-to-door sales after August 1, 2026

Since August 1, 2026, BC bans door-to-door sales of certain household products, such as furnaces, heat pumps, water heaters and solar systems; roofing is not on that list. A customer can still cancel a door-to-door contract for any reason within 10 days of receiving a copy, and the deposit is capped at $100 or 10% of the price, whichever is less.

WorkSafeBC: falls and registration

A fall protection system is required where a worker could fall 3 m (10 ft) or more, or less where the landing raises the risk of injury. A business that hires one or more workers must register with WorkSafeBC.

What a British Columbia roof report includes

A reviewed report for the British Columbia property, as a PDF and a customer copy.

  • Roof area by plane, pitch and every edge length: eaves, rakes, ridges, hips, valleys
  • The traced aerial image and a labelled plan diagram
  • A waste table and the material take-off

Everything in a report · how a report is made: you pin the roof and see the imagery, our team traces it, the software calculates, and it is reviewed before release. Reports are delivered in 1–3 hours, and usually in under an hour.

Metric or imperial

Switch any report to square metres and metres in the viewer; the choice is saved on that report and carries into the PDFs. Reports open in imperial. Roofing squares and bundles stay as ordering units.
