Accessibility requirements are a critical part of building design, permitting, and long-term building performance. Early review of accessibility requirements helps project teams identify potential issues before permit submission and avoid costly redesign during municipal review.

​

CompliLogic Solutions provides accessibility consulting services for architects, developers, and building owners to support compliance with the BC Building Code, Vancouver Building By-law, and applicable project-specific accessibility requirements.

Our team reviews building designs for barrier-free access, adaptable dwelling unit requirements, accessible common areas, and accessibility criteria associated with funding programs such as CMHC requirements.

Current BCBC 2024 Accessibility & Adaptable Housing Requirements

With the adoption of the BC Building Code 2024, accessibility and adaptable dwelling unit requirements have significantly changed for many residential and mixed-use developments. These updates affect early design decisions including suite layouts, washrooms, corridors, door clearances, common areas, and future adaptability considerations.

​

CompliLogic helps architects and developers navigate the latest accessibility requirements and understand how the updated provisions apply to projects moving through design and permitting.

​

Projects initiated during the transition between code editions may require review to determine which accessibility and adaptable housing requirements apply. CompliLogic assists project teams in understanding applicable code edition requirements, transition provisions, and AHJ expectations for projects moving through the approval process.

Our team provides practical code interpretation to help integrate accessibility requirements early while maintaining efficient and functional building designs.
