Since the implementation of the 2024 Ontario Building Code, large farm buildings falling under Part 2 have introduced new complexities for engineers, designers, and authorities. This session shares firsthand insights from applying the new code in current agricultural projects.
We’ll explore practical challenges encountered in interpreting and applying the new requirements, including structural, fire protection, general review obligations, professional scope boundaries, and areas requiring further clarification.
Attendees will benefit from lessons learned, emerging best practices, and recommendations for smoother approvals and design work flows. This session delivers essential insights to equip individuals with the knowledge needed to confidently navigate the evolving code landscape for large farm buildings.
