Indoor Air Quality Assessments in Fredericton, NB
Whether you hold a single rental in Fredericton or manage a portfolio across New Brunswick, indoor air quality assessments follows the same logic: know what applies, document what you do, and use qualified people.
Indoor air complaints — headaches, odours, stuffiness, symptom clusters — are where building operations meet health claims, and they escalate badly when answered with reassurance instead of measurement. A structured IAQ assessment measures what matters, ties findings to the ventilation system actually delivering (or not delivering) air, and produces a report that stands up with tenants, employees and regulators.
How it works in New Brunswick
In New Brunswick, this work sits under the National Building Code as adopted under the Building Code Administration Act, with the municipality together with Residential Tenancies Tribunal as the key authority. Working with people who deal with them routinely is the difference between a smooth file and a stalled one.

The people who call us from Fredericton range from first-time landlords to managers of large portfolios — the common thread is a requirement with a deadline and no time to source the right specialist.
Workplace duties
