Which organization administers the Nova Scotia Building Code Act/Regulations?

The Nova Scotia Building Code Act and its associated regulations are administered by Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations. This organization is responsible for ensuring that building practices within the province adhere to established safety, accessibility, and structural integrity standards.

Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations not only develop regulations but also support municipalities in enforcing the code, overseeing inspections, and providing resources to builders and contractors. They play a crucial role in maintaining the quality of construction in the province and ensuring that all buildings meet the required safety standards for the welfare of the public.

The other organizations mentioned do not have the responsibility for administering the Building Code Act in Nova Scotia. The Nova Scotia Real Estate Commission focuses on real estate practices and licensing rather than building codes. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation works at a national level to support housing, but it does not administer provincial building regulations. The National Association of Realtors is an American organization that is involved with real estate professionals, and it does not have jurisdiction in Canadian provincial codes or regulations.
