Contractors & Developers

Please refer to the “Design Review and Construction Coordination Information Package” found with UBC’s Technical Guidelines Division 33 specifications, which outlines the development processes related to UBC’s utilities infrastructure. The package includes a checklist of UBC Energy and Water Services (EWS) consultant and contractor service requirements.

All the UBC standards that builders are expected to adhere to can be found in the UBC Technical Guidelines. Most underground utilities-specific information is found in the Division 33 (mechanical) and Division 26 (electrical) guideline documents. Please see below for additional work procedures and forms related to project design and construction coordination requirements.

UBC is part of BC One Call’s Call Before You Dig Program. By submitting a ticket to them, we’ll be able to assist you in locating underground utilities, provided that UBC Campus + Community Planning has issued you a permit.

All Safety and Project Administration policies and procedures can be found on the Building Operations website.
