About Us

Who We Are

We are the lead­ers in build­ing reg­u­la­tion and inno­va­tion in Ontario. OLM­CBO (Ontario Large Munic­i­pal­i­ties Chief Build­ing Offi­cials) is a team of build­ing code pro­fes­sion­als who advo­cate for safer communities.

OLM­CBO over­sees 80% of Ontario’s con­struc­tion and eco­nom­ic activ­i­ty, blan­ket­ing over 45 munic­i­pal­i­ties province wide.

OLM­CBO mem­bers pri­or­i­tize the health and safe­ty of the pub­lic by admin­is­ter­ing and ensur­ing com­pli­ance of the Build­ing Code Act and Ontario Build­ing Code.

What We Do

One thing is para­mount for our friends and neigh­bours in all munic­i­pal­i­ties: their safe­ty and secu­ri­ty. By main­tain­ing the high­est build­ing code stan­dards, OLM­CBO pri­or­i­tizes the well-being of everyone.

This process ensures com­mu­ni­ties thrive through growth and devel­op­ment. OLM­CBO upholds the stan­dards for build­ing and con­struc­tion prac­tices by review­ing per­mits, code inter­pre­ta­tion, pol­i­cy devel­op­ment, per­mit issuance and build­ing inspec­tions. It’s our duty to ensure devel­op­ers, design­ers and con­trac­tors fol­low the Ontario Build­ing Code.

Our offi­cials ensure build­ings (com­mer­cial, indus­tri­al, insti­tu­tion­al, and res­i­den­tial) com­ply with applic­a­ble reg­u­la­tions and stan­dards. OLM­CBO part­ners with gov­ern­ment agen­cies, min­istries and stake­hold­ers to work towards devel­op­ing con­sis­ten­cies across Ontario.

Who We Serve

OLM­CBO rep­re­sents over half of all Ontar­i­ans, advo­cat­ing for health and safe­ty in build­ing con­struc­tion. 52% of Ontario’s pop­u­la­tion falls under OLMCBO’s juris­dic­tion, with build­ing offi­cials gov­ern­ing large munic­i­pal­i­ties with pop­u­la­tions over 50,000.

If you live in one of Ontario’s large munic­i­pal­i­ties, from Ottawa, to Sud­bury to Wind­sor, OLM­CBO has played an inte­gral role in the health and safe­ty of build­ings where you live, work and play.

Our Vision

OLM­CBO aims to be rec­og­nized as the leader in build­ing reg­u­la­tion, inno­va­tion, and pro­fes­sion­al­ism for Ontario.

Our Mis­sion

OLM­CBO pro­motes reg­u­la­to­ry com­pli­ance and safe­ty in build­ing con­struc­tion through leg­is­la­tion, build­ing code lead­er­ship and expertise.
