The NBC sets out technical provisions for the design and construction of new buildings. It
also applies to the alteration, change of use and demolition of existing buildings.
The NBC establishes requirements to address the following five objectives:
• safety
• health
• accessibility
• fire and structural protection of buildings
• environment
Code provisions do not necessarily address all the characteristics of buildings that might be
considered to have a bearing on the Code's objectives. Through the extensive consensus
process used to develop and maintain the National Model Codes (see the section entitled
Development of the National Model Codes), the Codes-user community has decided which
characteristics should be regulated through the NBC.
