Accessibility Audits & Barrier-Free Compliance in Moncton, NB
We arrange accessibility audits and barrier-free compliance for property owners across Moncton — matched to the rules that actually apply in New Brunswick and to trades who work in the area every week.
Accessibility law in Canada now runs on three levels: the building code’s barrier-free requirements applying to construction and renovation, provincial accessibility acts — Ontario’s AODA with the most developed standards, joined by Manitoba, Nova Scotia, BC and Saskatchewan statutes — and human-rights law, which fills every gap with a duty to accommodate. Property owners meet all three through the same practical instrument: an audit that maps barriers and a phased plan that removes them.
How it works in New Brunswick
Provincially, New Brunswick runs this through the National Building Code as adopted under the Building Code Administration Act, and the enforcement and approval levers sit with Barrier-free requirements in the adopted NBC. Everything we arrange is built to satisfy them the first time.
Accessibility Audits & Barrier-Free Compliance for Moncton properties
Moncton has its own compliance texture: the province’s growth engine — new apartment construction enters fire testing cycles yearly, and Technical Inspection Services handles every electrical and elevator file directly.
In Moncton we handle this for private landlords, property managers, condo and strata boards, commercial tenants, and homeowners who just received a requirement they did not expect.
The Ontario AODA layer
AODA’s Design of Public Spaces and employment/customer-service standards apply to most Ontario organizations, with compliance reporting obligations and fines for false reports. The 2025 full-accessibility target has hardened enforcement conversation; audits referencing AODA explicitly are what Ontario clients need.
The process
For a property in Moncton, expect the process to run like this:
- Tell us the building use, province and what prompted the audit.
- An accessibility consultant audits against code and applicable provincial standards.
- You receive a barrier inventory with cost-ranged remediation options.
- Retrofit work is phased into renovation and capital plans.
- Compliance reporting (AODA and equivalents) is completed where required.
Start with the form below or a call — we will confirm what applies to your Moncton property and what it will take to be fully compliant.
Frequently asked questions
Is my older building “grandfathered” from accessibility rules?
From construction requirements, until you renovate — but not from human-rights accommodation duties, and not from provincial standards applying to services and public spaces. Grandfathering is thinner protection than owners assume.
What does AODA require of a small business?
Customer-service accessibility, accessible feedback processes, and compliance reporting above employee thresholds — plus Design of Public Spaces standards when you build or redevelop. Physical retrofit mandates are narrower than most fear.
Which authority handles this in Moncton?
In Moncton the front line is municipal — building department, fire prevention, by-law enforcement — backed provincially by Barrier-free requirements in the adopted NBC under the National Building Code as adopted under the Building Code Administration Act. We prepare files to satisfy whichever level is asking.
