Ontario’s Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) has published data to highlight its first year of operation. The organization launched on Feb. 1, 2021, as Ontario’s newest regulator, responsible for licensing the people and companies who build and sell new homes in the province.

To receive and/or maintain a licence from HCRA, builders and vendors must demonstrate that they have the right technical skills to build homes, the financial capacity to run a homebuilding operation and the knowledge and ability to offer warranty protection on a new home.

During its first year, the HCRA processed 7358 licence applications and renewals.
