Who regulates repair work in British Columbia

British Columbia has no general contractor licence. Electrical and gas work must be done by contractors licensed with Technical Safety BC, and most electrical and gas alterations need a permit from that body before work starts. Its public contractor lookup shows licence status and enforcement history.

Consumer complaints and contract questions go to Consumer Protection BC. Workers’ compensation coverage, which protects you if a tradesperson is injured on your property, is verified through WorkSafeBC. Old electronics can be dropped off free through Return-It Electronics (EPRA BC).

In a strata corporation, shared systems such as risers, venting and common wiring usually need the strata’s sign-off before work, and most buildings require elevator bookings and contractor registration at the desk.
