This presentation introduces attendees to the Licensing and Consumer Services branch of BC Housing. Licensing and Consumer Services is mandated by the Homeowner Protection Act and is therefore responsible for programs that protect homebuyers in British Columbia. This includes licensing residential builders and monitoring the private-sector home warranty insurance system that protects consumers against defects in new homes. The Licensing and Consumer Services branch also administers owner builder authorizations. Join us to find out more about the work of the Licensing and Consumer Services branch and how they can help you and the Residential Construction Industry.
