BILD Alberta

BILD Alberta formally wrote to the Government of Alberta to pause adoption of the 2025 National Building Code (NBC).

Here's our concern: the 2025 NBC has drifted well beyond its core purpose of health and safety, adding between $17,000 and $39,000 in new costs to a typical single-family home. If Alberta were to progress to the highest energy tier (Tier 5), that figure climbs past $128,000.

These changes bring real complexity, constructability challenges, and interpretive uncertainty — without clear, commensurate benefit. Many aren't driven by consumer demand, and the analysis meant to justify them is often absent or incomplete.

The responsible path is to pause: give industry, government, and building officials the time to properly review, test, and evaluate these proposals against the benefit they actually deliver to Albertans.

BILD Alberta strongly supports a harmonized national building code. That's exactly why we're raising the alarm. We're also calling on the federal government to reform the priorities and processes behind our national code system.
