Public Notice

The RDPC Building Inspectors are all members of the New Brunswick Building Officials Association and take courses leading to various levels of certification for Canadian Building Officials. Our Building Inspection Team includes certification at the highest level available through the Alliance of Canadian Building Official Associations.

The Building Inspector will typically will visit a home under construction 3 to 4 times; before backfill, at framing, before drywall, and upon completion. Where any problems are encountered, the Building Inspector may need to visit additional times to confirm that the required work is complete.

One’s own lumber can most certainly be used in construction. It must however be stamped by a qualified grader. Anyone who expresses the desire to use their own lumber is advised how they acquire that grading.

RDPC’s responsibilities have increased substantially since 1998. On average, the RDPC issues over 700 building permits and approves the creation of over 200 building lots annually. Since RDPC was established in 1998, two Villages and three Local Services Districts have been added to RDPC. The most recent addition of the Village of Gagetown occurred in 2005. In 2002, RDPC became responsible for administering the provincial Building Regulation throughout the unincorporated areas. Commissioner representation, staffing, and resulting budget requirements have increased accordingly since RDPC was established.
