Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA)

The Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) licenses the people and companies who build and sell new homes in Ontario. The HCRA enforces high professional standards for competence and good conduct while supporting and promoting a fair marketplace. In this role, the HCRA will give new home buyers confidence when making one of the biggest purchases of their lives – a new home. The HCRA also provides educational information and resources for consumers, including the Ontario Builder Directory, the official source of information about Ontario’s 5000+ licensed builders and vendors.
