This short clause simply sets the scope of Part 1: everything in it applies to every building covered by the Ontario Building Code. It's a scoping statement rather than a technical requirement.

This is a plain-language summary of the 2012/2017 Ontario Building Code text above, for general understanding only and not a substitute for the Code. Always confirm current requirements against the 2024 edition (O.Reg. 163/24) or a qualified professional before construction.
