The Board of Examiners and Appeals From the City of Edmonton Building Code was established in 1935 through the Edmonton Building Code Bylaw (#781). The Board was responsible for determining the suitability of alternate materials and means of construction and providing reasonable interpretation of the Building Code. By the mid-1950s the Board was also hearing appeals from decisions of the Building Inspector as they related to the Building Code. Issues would be forwarded to the Board via a City Commissioner or by the Building Inspector. The decisions of the Board were final. The Board was appointed by Council, and consisted of members who were knowledgeable about building practices. By the 1950s this included the Fire Marshall and representatives of the Edmonton House Builder's Association, the Edmonton Builder's Exchange, the Alberta Architect's Association, and the Association of Professional Engineers of Alberta.
