Accountability and licensing is paramount in the face of climate change. We can't afford to be re-building shoddy construction because standards aren't being met.

Do your diligence. We used a builder who won awards in Saint John, he went bankrupt. Red Flag No 2 was that he made it clear that he was a good churchgoer. He was a crook.

I know a guy….

As a Federal Chief Building Inspector for 35 years I can assure you…..that’s correct !

It shouldn't matter if your kid built it, everything has to be inspected. Stupid article about people not knowing wtf they are doing in buying or renovating and blaming everybody else for their short comings🙄

That is why insurance can only be on licence contractors.

Without Reading, It would make Builder Moore Attentive Too Build &Highering Persons Too Do Correct $hit! Then Workers Stay &People Hirer Contractor Or Sure By What They Built! Union Destroying All... No formal licensing or training is required=contractor

Do other provinces require licensing?

Same applies to politicians and they claim to want to build an economically responsible country. Which is worse?

Same in Ontario.

so what? that's why they have building inspectors . just have easy legal recourse which doesn't exist for those who defraud or misrepresent their skills. As of now anyone even a professional can rip you off and they use the fact they are professional to rip you off even more

My TTC driver uncle after a few beers in is an award winning contractor too 😂😂😂

Wrong. It can be a problem, actually. Somepeople know better than many.
