I’m Vijaykumar Patel, a BCIN-certified Designer, Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T.), and LEED AP BD+C, with over 10 years of hands-on experience in AEC industry.
I specialize in Ontario Building Code–compliant design, permit documentation, and real-world project execution, with a strong focus on residential, small building, and Part 3 projects. My experience allows me to bridge the gap between exam theory and practical application—where many BCIN candidates struggle the most.
Why Learn From Me?
My approach is built on how the BCIN exams are actually tested and how the code is applied in real projects. Every quiz and course is designed to strengthen code logic, interpretation skills, and exam confidence, not memorization alone.
To equip you with the skills, confidence, and code knowledge required to pass the BCIN exams and apply the Ontario Building Code in real-world projects
