New streamlined approach to booking a building permit inspection

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) Building Department has made booking building permit inspections a seamless and positive experience with the introduction of a new centralized email address.

Effective September 2, you will no longer need to contact individual offices in Creston, Nakusp, and Nelson. Now permit holders can now email [email protected] 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
  • Notes or instructions for Building Official

Email: [email protected]

Phone: Nelson – 250.352.8155

                Nakusp – 250.265.4111

                Creston – 250.428.5717
