Facade Inspection

Law 122, also known as the “Building Law Amendment Act Primarily Concerning the Modernization of Safety Standards,” has played a crucial role in improving safety standards for buildings, especially those with 5 floors and above.

The importance of Bill 122 in the maintenance and inspection of facades

This law led to the implementation of a new Building chapter in the Safety Code of the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ).

The new provisions of Bill 122 are mainly intended to strengthen the safety of occupants and people moving around high-rise buildings, as well as the safety of users of multi-storey buildings. These measures have been put in place to prevent accidents and ensure the protection of all.

As for facades and multi-storey buildings, the requirements arising from Bill 122 can be consulted on the website of the Régie du bâtiment du Québec. It is essential to comply with these requirements in order to ensure the safety of structures and to comply with current regulatory standards.
