The data reflects what is entered into BCA’s database. Data is provided through sources of field collection by BCA employees, or through other corporations such as LTSA or the Ministry of Finance.
The Commercial Inventory Extract and Residential Inventory Extract contain additional information for every building or part of a building in the areas covered. These reports are produced quarterly.
The BCA provides data in XML and TXT format. To make the large Data Advice REVD files more accessible UBC Library converts each to a series of CSV files and a SQLite database that includes the corresponding Commercial and Residential inventory extracts. Both the original files and the transformed versions are available in Abacus for each year, along with notes about the transformation process.
