We offer full "Assigned Certifier" and "Design Certifier" services for the construction of Residential or Commercial Projects, where a registered builder is used.

From the 1st March 2014 the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government introduced the “Building Control Management System” (BCMS). This system is to ensure that there is strict compliance with the Building Regulations when construction work takes place. This requires a building owner, to undertake the following when constructing a building:

1. To assign an “Assigned Certifier” & "Design Certifier".

The Assigned Certifier will inspect and certify the works in accordance with the documents and drawings submitted with the “Commencement Notice” and issue a Certifcate of Compliance when the works have been completed certifying that the works have been carried out in accordance with the Building Control Regulations 2014.

2. To assign a “Builder”. 

Competent Builders will be registered with the CIF/Homebond/CIRI and in the future they will be placed on the “Construction Industry Register Ireland”.

Their role is to build and supervise the works, in accordance with the documents and drawings submitted with the “Commencement Notice”.

3. To ensure that there is compliance with the Building Control Regulations and to maintain records.
