OBC 3.8 Expertise
Is your building compliant
with CSA B651-2023?
Federal buildings scored only 68% on the 2018 accessibility standard. The 2025–26 PSPC assessment cycle uses the tougher CSA B651-2023 — and any renovation event now triggers full OBC 3.8 compliance on the affected area. As an OBC Section 3.8 accessibility contractor serving Ontario, Shefah Group manages every retrofit from permit to final inspection sign-off.
OBC Section 3.8 — Barrier-Free Design
Your OBC Section 3.8 accessibility contractor in Ontario manages turning radii, fixture heights, door widths, ramp grades, and accessible route continuity — all governed by Section 3.8 of the Ontario Building Code.
CSA B651-2023 — New Federal Standard
The 2023 update to the national accessibility standard is stricter than the 2018 version. Buildings passing B651-2018 may now fail — triggering new contracts.
AODA — Legislative Mandate
Ontario’s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act missed its own 2025 deadline. Remediation procurement is now legally compelled across the MASH sector.
PSPC 5-Year Assessment Cycle
Federal building assessments run on a 5-year cycle starting 2025–26. Every building that fails generates a remediation procurement contract.
