The National Building Code provides minimum requirements for building construction, divided into 13 parts and 33 chapters, and aims to establish standards on a national level. Meanwhile, local building bylaws control additional rules set by individual cities, such as maximum floor area ratios and minimum setback distances from property lines. While the NBC sets baseline construction standards, building bylaws regulate development on a municipal level with local zoning rules.
