My experience with RSM Building Consultants has been genuinely valuable. The training was not only detailed and practical, but the in-person/virtual hybrid format made it extremely engaging and easy to apply directly to real project scenarios. Gerald clearly draws from deep industry experience, which made the explanations, examples, and case studies highly relevant to the work we do across Ontario. The courses have strengthened my understanding of several key Building Code areas and have supported my day-to-day practice as a BCIN designer, particularly when navigating complex permit reviews and examiner discussions. I would absolutely recommend RSM’s training programs to other designers, engineers, inspectors, and anyone looking to deepen their Code knowledge in a professional, structured environment. The learning experience was excellent, and I look forward to continuing future courses with them. Can't wait for the next class!

I have attended a few RSM courses. I enjoy how the material is delivered. A good blend of theoretical and working knowledge. I trust the information I receive from them.

RSM provides an interactive course with easy-to-follow content. Helpful for graphical learners who may struggle with abstract reading of OBC references.

Gerald and the Team at RSM are a wealth of knowledge. Exemplary knowledge of the topics they present and encouraging everyone to "walk the walk" through the various code paths. Always a pleasure!

Gerald is a wonderful and engaging presenter. He is mindful of the content and the attendees. He is willing to answer all questions and have conversations within the course content on relevant code topics.

What RSM does is they focus and concentrate on a certain area (of the code)…it’s really quite interesting in that Gerald obviously does a lot of research on his subject…you can see he’s put the effort into it, and it’s not just reading off of a presentation board. You can see that he knows his topics. His style is an excellent way to teach adults—and he respects some of the feedback he’s getting because a lot of us do have a lot of experience and I imagine it’s quite a challenge for Gerald because he knows his audience is not just 18-year-old students who’ve never done anything. And if he doesn’t know the answer, he’ll get back to you. Gerald (RSM) will find a lot of eastern Ontario municipalities are signing on for the same reasons I am—because it’s good, focused training and it doesn’t drain our budget.

Gerald is one of the best OBC course trainers I have had. He is very knowledgeable and now has support staff to make the experience even better. Great job!
