Home Construction Regulatory Authority (HCRA) Employee Directory

Government AdministrationOntario, Canada51-200 Employees

Based in North York, Ontario, the Home Construction Regulatory Authority licenses and regulates individuals and firms involved in building and selling new homes in the province. It operates as a not-for-profit administrative authority designated by the provincial government to administer and enforce the New Home Construction Licensing Act, 2017 and its regulations, independently from both government and industry. In addition to licensing, HCRA provides educational resources to help consumers navigate the home-buying journey and supports ongoing improvements in the new-home sector, including a transparent complaints system.

Its primary customers are home buyers and the housing industry professionals—builders and sellers—who operate under its oversight. The authority also maintains the Ontario Builder Directory, an authoritative record of background information on about 7,000 new home builders and sellers across Ontario, and offers tools to help consumers make informed choices. A recent development includes the March 2026 appointment of Patricia Perkins as Chair of the Board of Directors.
