Nelson, BC: To provide a seamless and positive experience, the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) Building Department is introducing a new centralized email address for booking building permit inspections, effective September 2, 2025. Rather than contacting individual offices in Creston, Nakusp, and Nelson, permit holders can now email inspections@rdck.bc.ca to book an inspection.
“We are always looking for ways to make our services more accessible and responsive for residents and builders,” said Erik Stout, RDCK Building and Bylaw Manager. “By introducing a centralized email for building inspections, we are streamlining communication, reducing delays, and ensuring a more efficient and reliable process for everyone involved.”
Inspections can still be booked by phone, ensuring the public can easily access inspection services through various channels.
Those using this new service can expect a booking confirmation email within 24 hours. To book an inspection via email please provide the following information:
- Permit number
- Site address
- Owner’s name
- Type of inspection required
- Note or instructions for Building Official
Email: inspections@rdck.bc.ca
