Building Contract Review Program (BCRP)

If you are a residential builder, you may be required to participate in the BCRP as a condition of obtaining eligibility with the iCare HBCF.

If you've already been assessed as eligible but you would like to change your eligibility profile, the BCRP may help you to develop the skills and experience required to take on larger and more complex residential building projects.

The BCRP assists new entrants to the building industry, as well as existing small to medium builders without demonstrated experience for proposed projects.
