Building officials are vital to the construction industry and public safety.

This means examining and inspecting building construction and interpreting and applying the Ontario Building code. As a Building Official, you’ll work at a municipality and play a vital role collaborating with home owners, developers, contractors, architects and engineers in the planning, building and growing of communities.
