Important Notice to All Builders in B.C.

On March 4, 2015 the B.C. Government announced that mandatory education requirements are now a prerequisite for builders applying for and renewing licenses.

The enhanced licensing system applies primarily to general contractors constructing single-family homes and small residential buildings under Part 9 of the BC Building Code.

To obtain a new license, applicants will now be required to demonstrate proficiency in seven (7) areas related to residential construction. The seven (7) core Continuing Education courses offered by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC (CHBA BC) meet these new mandatory education requirements as set out by the Homeowner Protection Act.

For current license holders, applicants will be required to complete and log 40 continuing professional development (CPD) credits. All 12 CHBA BC continuing education courses can be used to obtain various amounts of CPD credits. Please review the list of courses to see the associated CPD credits.

In addition, CHBA BC’s Continuing Education program delivers 12 courses that meet the CHBA National Benchmarks and provincial recommendations, while also providing business and management skills. Successful completion of all 12 courses leads to a Master Residential Builder designation.
