I appreciate these lectures very much. Thank you, Francesco.

I am Mohib Naikzad from Afghanistan and have recently completed my intermediate education. I heard of Mr. Francesco from Ashir Azeem Gill, whom I referred for learning OBC and he recommended watching your videos. I hope I can get benefit from here and successfully clear the exam. Love from Afghanistan 💖🇦🇫

I think these are the best educational content about Building Code, especially for someone who doesn't know anything about the topic.

Flawless and intriguing method of teaching. Loved the first video!

Hello Francesco. I am a newcomer to Canada, and I am going to start my career in Architecture here. I am also a friend of one of your colleagues at Algonquin College. He introduced you and your RUclips channel to me in our latest conversation, so I could learn more about OBC through your channel. Today, I started watching these videos so I could familiarize myself with OBC before starting my career in Canada. I want to thank you for generously sharing such valuable information and for helping people like me take their first steps in our career in this country.

Another great video regarding wood frame structures! Looking forward to your next live stream or new video in this new year 2025.👍

Silly error with references showing in the middle of the screen around 6:40 (it's correct in the bottom right of the screen). C'est la vie.

I am an apprentice and have been waiting forever for my schooling but the waitlist is so backlogged. I loved your videos, quickly made me comfortable with the OBC. Thank you!

I'm an engineer and i found the video on RUclips by looking Ontario building code. Thanks for your sharing.

Hi Francesco, Thanks for the video. So the N/A means we have a zero hour FRR fire separation? It has to be a fire separation (smoke seal) with no fire rating? The new 2024 code has a dash line in lieu of the N/A which I assume is the same thing.

Ontario builders should be sued into bankruptcy. Fact. Ontario is a wetland. Average humidity 65%. Mold is a issue. Over 80% of homes have mold . Many homes are moldy before they are even built. Natives sued Canada over this and won. Humidity outside should not go inside Cold air meets warm air u get moisture. Wood and paper drywall is organic. Ontario should be kicked out of Canada for the scams and fraud they allow. Complicity isnt a good thing. Max spores count by Health Canada 1000 spores per meter cubed. Most places fail Which explains the anxiety depression mental health issues allergies and immune problems. Ontario building code is a joke and is criminal. But the ppl are mentally effected by mold which lowers iq which is clear and apparent. What a joke. Onterrible is a joke. 80 liberal MPs a liberal province which has no morals. Enjoy ur mold. And ur dementia and alzehimers

you cooked Francesco 🔥🔥

Hi Francesco, is this course good for the BCIN House Exam?

Hi Francesco. I'm one of your students in this course in Algonquin College this term. I found your video in Brightspace.

this is spectacular

How can i get the practice test in now days because the link you provide is not working now. Need help

Yes, in the Middle East, we call the first story the Ground floor

Hi Francesco, Thank you for the great help. It is amazing for me as a new immigrant.

Thank you Francesco, really appreciate these lectures.

Ontario I'm a construction student i found the video on RUclips by looking Ontario building code

This is so helpful! Thank you so much Francesco!

Thank you! Could you tell me if two screens are allowed in the exam?

so lucky to have run into this! thank you

Does it allow ctrl+f keys in the examination?

Hi Professor, I just started my building code exam journey and using the 2024 building code. I noticed that the example listed in this videos is no longer applied to 2024 building code. The Group D is now 3.2.2.56 - 65 and there is actually no Any Height Any Area anymore. There is only Any Height Any Area Sprinklered as 3.2.2.56. Does this mean for those building the sprinkler is a must now as per the new building code?

You are absolutely right; I came from South America and the 1st storey is the storey above the main/ground floor. Great videos by the way!

Hi Francesco, Your videos are very insightful and very helpful when navigating the building code. I would appreciate some clarity when building a triplex or fourplex as this type of built form is gaining a lot of traction in our cities and hopefully this subject of interest would be covered in one of your next videos. Would a triplex or fourplex be governed by part 3 or part 9 or a combination of both since a house can meet the requirements of part 9 with respect to height(3 stories), bld area(less than 600m2) and group c (residential)major occupancy? What will be the type of construction be and how to determine under which section of the OBC--combustible or non combustible? Under Part9 Div B Table 9.10.14.5 non-combustible construction is required with 10% or less unprotected openings of exposed building face and would table 9.10.14.4 apply vs table 9.10.15.4. Under Part 3 Div B Table 3.2.2.47 Group C 3 storey Residential is permitted to be of combustible construction which contains dwelling units. Under part 9 the definition of house was revised to include an individual dwelling unit in the house in other words 2 in total. Since the number of units will exceed 2 would that make it a small building under part 3? Thank you in advance

Hello teacher. I am very interested in this subject. Should we watch the previous playlist that you uploaded before watching this one? Or will watching this one alone be enough? I am a Construction Project Manager who just arrived in Ontario from abroad. This is the biggest book I have ever seen. Thank you for your answer.

I really appreciate your videos - you're a great teacher. I'd love to see a video on slab-on-grade design theory in cold climate.

My wife is writing the exam this Friday will like to hire you to help her please

Do you have a number

Dear Francesco would you please send me which college you lecture HAVC thank you

Hi Francesco. Another great video of course. I notice the MMAH supplementary standards are only located in the OBC. Is the MMAH also situated in NBC, and in NBC Alberta edition? Thank you for these vidoes. I want to mater building codes in B.C., Alberta, and Ontario.

Hello. Would you mind to suggest any courses/books which I can use to pass BCIN exam? I am trying by myself but it is quiet confusing. I am looking to get BCIN for General legal and small buildings.

Thank you for the videos, they are really very helpfull😊

Hey Francesco I've been enjoying your videos and I was wondering if you could point me to where exactly in the OBC that it specifies the difference between a roof joist and roof rafter? We often design shed roofs or lean toos on the side of sheds and garages. These lean-too roofs as they are commonly called do not get any ceiling surface installed but also do not have an attic space or ceiling joists so they behave structuraIly more like a roof joist. We usually size them as roof joists but I've always been curious where the code specifcially parses these 2 members out. Thanks.

amazing. Thank you

Thank you so much

Sorry...no response? Thanks.

Thanks for the lecture. Your teaching method is amazing Francesco.

Would you please explain why we use the type X gypsum board on both side and why you use 38*89 wood studs size

Best explanation thank you for sharing us your knowledge

5:19. It is the opposite, noncombustible construction by using noncombustible materials

Please let us know when Topic 11, covering Section 3.3 in Division B of the Ontario Building Code, is coming up?

It’s been a year that I have been in Toronto Canada. Been working in the field of architecture for more than 5 years but outside of the country. Trying to get familiar with the canadian BC so that I can get a job offer from architectural firms inside the country.

please, please, please what is the link to download drawings, course notes and homework?

Thanks for your videos! Couple of questions, I just started studying for this and will be going for the 2024 version. How long do I have to wait for the workbooks and such to update for exam prep in your opinion? Also, when you studied, did you read the relevant section of the code cover to cover, page by page? how do you retain all that information in your head? I know that this is an open book exam, but still...
