The scope of buildings covered by this Listing include:

Buildings are:             Commercial/Industrial structures comprised of single or multiple modules. Structures are classified under Group C & D occupancy in a single storey configuration and without sprinkler systems. Buildings with sleeping accommodation have a building area not exceeding 600m² and buildings without sleeping accommodation have a building area not exceeding 1200m².

Structural:                  Conventional wood frame construction

Electrical Rating:         120/240 VAC, 60Hz, 600A max

Heating/Ventilation:     Exterior wall mounted forced air furnaces. Units to be Electric only. Systems may be equipped with air conditioning.

Commercial/Industrial structures described above typically include but are not limited to office space and construction camp facilities, such as portable washroom trailers, dining trailers, and other similar commercial or industrial buildings.

This listing does not include vehicular lighting or break wiring systems.

Structures included in this listing are relocatable commercial/industrial structures manufactured at a central facility complete with electrical wiring, for installation to other modules in the field. These units, when completely assembled on site, are equipped with normal facilities for connection to electrical and plumbing services. QAI certification covers the construction of the structures and any factory installed electrical and plumbing services, and is intended to obviate the necessity of further inspections by the local regulatory authorities except for site connections to services or to other modules and for site mounting features.

Structures are built to conform to CSA Standard A277, Alberta Building Code (Part 9 & 10), National Building Code (Part 9), National Plumbing Code (as applicable) and Canadian Electrical Code (Part 1).

Interconnection of modules, completion of structural systems and connection to services must be finished on site as specified in the electrical and building permits and are subject to inspection by the local authorities having jurisdiction.

Products shall be installed in accordance with the local code of the authority having jurisdiction.
