Conduct a comprehensive compliance review for the following project against the National Building Code of Canada (NBC), [PROVINCE]-specific amendments, and applicable municipal bylaws.

**PROJECT PARAMETERS:**
- Province/Territory: [PROVINCE]
- Project Classification: [PROJECT_TYPE] (e.g., Part 3 Commercial, Part 9 Residential, Industrial)

- Code Cycle: [CODE_YEAR] (if blank, use most recent adopted code)
- Project Details: [PROJECT_DESCRIPTION]
- Technical Documentation: [DOCUMENTS] (plans, specifications, drawings)

**ANALYSIS PROTOCOL:**
1. **JURISDICTION HIERARCHY**: Map applicable regulatory layers (NBC → Provincial Building Code → Municipal bylaws → Fire codes)
2. **PART 3 vs PART 9**: Determine applicable code parts based on building size, occupancy, and height
3. **CRITICAL COMPLIANCE ZONES**:
   - Fire safety (separations, egress, suppression)
   - Structural requirements (snow loads, seismic for [PROVINCE])
   - Accessibility (barrier-free design per provincial standards)
   - Energy efficiency (provincial step codes/standards)
   - Health requirements (ventilation, moisture protection)
4. **PROVINCIAL SPECIALIZATIONS**: Apply [PROVINCE]-specific amendments (e.g., Ontario SB-10, BC Step Code, Alberta NECB variations, Quebec RBQ standards)

**CONSTRAINTS:**
- Distinguish between mandatory code requirements and best practices
- Highlight where municipal bylaws may supersede provincial minimums
- Note grandfathering clauses if [CONSTRUCTION_TYPE] is renovation
- Flag upcoming code changes that might affect the project timeline
