  • COVID-19: BCC OFFICE CLOSURES

    In order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, the Bureau of Construction Codes (BCC), is transitioning to new processes and procedures to continue to serve the public and industry stakeholders in a manner that implements social distancing.

    Our objective is to not disrupt the services and support that you receive from the BCC Team. As such, we ask for your understanding during this state of emergency and provide your questions and requests to BCC by email at: bccpermits@michigan.gov, and we will respond as quickly as possible. If you would like a return phone call, please provide the best time and number for a team member to connect with you.

    You can also contact us at 517-241-9302.

    Also we strongly encourage you conduct business with us online at: https://aca3.accela.com/LARA/Default.aspx instead of by U.S. Mail.

    For disciplinary matters, submit documentation or make inquiries related to disciplinary actions to: LARA-BCC-Compliance@michigan.gov.

  • PSI TESTING SITES ARE NOW OPEN

    As of June 3, 2020, PSI resumed testing. Applicants whose eligibility expired while testing sites were closed due to the emergency (between March 13, 2020 and June 2, 2020) will have their eligibility extended until October 3, 2020.

    Additionally, due to a surge in testing demand and limited seating, applications in the system prior to June 3, 2020 will have their eligibility extended by four (4) months to assure applicants have their full year worth of eligibility. Applications moving forward (beginning June 4, 2020), will go back to the original eligibility process which gives the applicant one (1) year to take and pass their licensure examination.

    Applicants should contact PSI to schedule their examination by going to https://candidate.psiexams.com/index.jsp or by calling 1-800-733-9267.

  • PROPOSED RULES UPDATES

    Due to the recent spread of COVID-19, all meetings and Proposed Rule/Code Change Request forms are postponed. The bureau will schedule/reschedule dates when it is safe to proceed. Email notification will be sent at that time. Information regarding this outbreak is changing rapidly, and we appreciate your understanding and assistance in helping to prevent the spread of this virus.
