  • The building owner is responsible to comply with building and accessibility standards.  
  • The local authority (municipality) is responsible for administration and enforcement of the standards.  
  • The Government of Saskatchewan is responsible for the legislative and regulatory framework, as well as high level policy, concerning the standards. 
  • Licensed building officials work for the municipality. 
  •  Professional designers (i.e., registered architects and professional engineers) work for the building owner.
