Program details
Overview
Building Renovation Technology covers the renovation process from reviewing project plans and preparing technical sketches to completing construction stages such as site layout, footings, and interior and exterior finishes according to blueprint specifications. Coursework addresses health and safety compliance, quoting and contract obligations under the Ontario and National Building Codes, and the use of technical mathematics and building science to solve construction problems. Students also study project scheduling, working with tradespeople and other stakeholders, sustainable construction methods, and the business and leadership skills needed to run a renovation enterprise.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry from an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, or as a mature applicant, with Grade 12 Math (C or U, MCT4C preferred for adequate preparation); applicants short of this are directed to academic upgrading, or may complete the one-year Trade Fundamentals preparatory program. English language proficiency (results within the last two years): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 79, CAEL 60 overall with no section below 50, PTE Academic 53, or Cambridge English 169 with no skill below 162. Credit toward any course is available to applicants who can demonstrate they already meet its objectives. Completing the Pre-Technology program earns additional consideration but does not guarantee admission. Where applicants outnumber seats, Fanshawe ranks by preference for Ontario permanent residents, receipt of application by 1 February, then achievement in the admission requirements.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
