The CHBA BC Education Summit is becoming a go-to opportunity for builders that want to invest in themselves, their teams, grow their knowledge and stay ahead in an evolving industry.
Held this fall, the Education Summit is more than just a learning event – it’s an investment in your own professional development, your staff and your business. From building code updates to practical design strategies, this year’s agenda offers real value for builders, building officials, designers and project leads alike.
Built for residential construction professionals
This year’s sessions are grounded in the everyday realities of BC’s homebuilding sector:
- Advanced Wall Assemblies: Clarify your approach to staggered studs, spray foam and exterior insulation. Builders and building officials will benefit from exploring what compliance actually looks like in complex assemblies – especially as Step Code requirements evolve.
- Part 9 Standardized Design Guide: This session goes beyond theory, offering practical examples to apply the guide across different project types.
- Code Compliance Perspectives: Topics such as passive radon mitigation and lateral load requirements will help you stay ahead of inspection issues and reduce project uncertainty – whether you’re enforcing the code or designing for it.
And for those thinking about broader trends in BC’s housing landscape, the Urbanarium session explores the policy and design outputs of The Missing Middle, Decoding Density and Timber Towers – perfect for anyone working on planning, approvals or forward-looking residential design.
Leadership that inspires
Day 1 keynote speaker, Cheryl Pounder – two-time Olympic gold medalist and leadership expert – brings inspiration from the ice to the podium.
