Based in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Ratio Code Consultants is your trusted partner in following the BC Building Code, and the Vancouver Building Bylaw for fire protection, occupant safety and accessibility.
We believe that every building tells a story. Whether it’s a highrise shaping the skyline, a community centre bringing a town together, or just a simple and cozy residential home, all buildings have a common foundation: safety and compliance.
We’re here to make that foundation strong, bringing together our expertise, creativity, and dedication so that every space is safe, accessible, and compliant.
We are an experienced engineering company focusing on the Fire Code, and Parts 3 and 9 of the Building Code in British Columbia. Our approach is built on the belief that compliance doesn’t need to be complicated. We’ll take care of the complex code items, so you can focus on your design and vision.

Designing for People: Safety & Accessibility First
We’re proud to have been part of a wide range of successful projects that have made a difference in the communities where they are built.
From innovative mixed-use developments that brought new life to neighborhoods, to accessibility audits for everyone to better enjoy public facilities, our work is grounded in the belief that safe, inclusive design benefits everyone.
Supporting Long-Term Safety and Compliance
Our commitment to safety doesn’t end when a project is complete. We’ve helped construction teams with fire hazard assessments during the building phase to prevent accidents for a safer workplace.
We’ve also provided occupant load and exit capacity assessments so that commercial spaces can be used safely and effectively. These experiences show that our work isn’t just about compliance — it’s about improving the way people interact with the spaces around them.
Buildings are the backbone of our communities—they’re where we live, work, play, and learn. We believe in helping you build places where people feel safe, comfortable, and inspired. Whether you’re an architect, developer, builder, or property owner, we’re here to support your projects with personalized service that makes a difference.
