Handyman Connection in Vaughan Ensures Your New Deck is Built to Code

A deck can be a wonderful addition to any home.

Handyman Connection offers deck installation in Vaughan. By working with a professional installer, you can help to ensure that your deck will be up to code.

What You Need To Know About Building Codes

The key thing to know about building codes, for decks and any other structure, is that they are variable and highly conditional. The codes in one province are not the same as the codes in another province. Certainly, there are some similarities and consistencies that you can depend on. However, being familiar with the codes in Ontario does not mean that you are ready to build a deck in British Columbia.

The National Building Code of Canada helps to set some of the core guidelines, but you need to know the details if you are going to build anything. Additionally, there may even be local ordinances that impact how you can build decks.

Furthermore, there are different codes for different building types. A single-family home has a different code for decks than a restaurant.

The Price of Non-Compliance Can Be High

Building a deck that doesn’t comply with building codes can lead to some pretty serious consequences. Noncompliance can lead to the following:

• Fines: Not following building codes can mean that you are on the hook for various fines. Depending on the nature of the issue, these may be quite steep.
• Rebuild: Unsurprisingly, simply paying a fine isn’t enough to satisfy the government. You also need to fix the issue. This may be relatively simple, or it could mean starting from scratch. Correcting earlier mistakes can get costly very quickly.
• Danger: Building codes exist for a reason, and it isn’t just to make you wade your way through red tape. A deck that doesn’t meet building codes could be potentially very dangerous.

Fortunately, you can also use those building codes to help validate your planned deck. If it doesn’t meet codes or you have trouble making your project work within the confines of the codes, it may be a sign that you need to rethink it. Take a step back and think through the project again. It may help you build a better, safer structure.
