BCRP Overview

The building contract review program (BCRP) is designed to help builders take on new or larger, more complex projects, by partnering Builders with a BCRP provider.

If you’re a residential builder, you may be required to participate in the BCRP as a condition of obtaining eligibility with the ICare HBCF.

If you’ve already been assessed as eligible but you would like to change your eligibility profile, the BCRP may help you develop the skills and experience required to take on larger and more complex residential building projects.

The BCRP assists new entrants to the building industry, as well as existing small to medium builders without demonstrated experience for proposed projects.

BCRP Services

As a BCRP Service Provider, APH Building is responsible for reviewing your ability to quote and deliver a particular type of project. Once you partner with APH Building we will complete the following—

• Request documentation regarding the upcoming project.
• Once received , APH Building will review contract documents for the project to ensure that you provide a detailed budget that includes a gross margin that is reasonable for the project.
• Determine a schedule of performance reviews, including site/video inspections, to ensure your supervision and contract administration is appropriate.
• Make sure the project is running to budget and the contracted completion date.
• Undertake reviews and report on the progress and your competence relating to specific areas that have been reviewed.

Please note that it is not the role of the BCRP Service Provider to ensure that you’re compliant with building standards however, copies of certifications may be requested as part of our performance review process.

BCRP Fees

APH Building will provide a fixed price quote within 1 business day of a quote request form being submitted and will be based on the nature of the project, the contract value and the location. Generally services are provided at a rate of $135 per hour.
