Under the new Building Regulations owners need to be aware that they will have to appoint adequately resourced and competent Designers, Assigned Certifiers and Builders to each of their projects in accordance with the new regime. Inclusion on Statutory Registers is the primary means of establishing competency such as Engineers Ireland of which the employees of D.J Fitzpatrick Consulting Engineers are members of.

A new form of Commencement Notice is to be submitted on behalf of the owner to the local Building Control Authority setting out project particulars along with certification from the Designer(s), and undertakings of the Assigned Certifier and Builder together with plans and documentation to show how the proposed works or building complies with the requirements of the Regulations. On completion of the project, the Assigned Certifier and the Builder must each certify on different parts of the same Certificate of Compliance that the finished building or works complies with the requirements of the Building Regulations. 

Our Consulting Engineering firm provide this service including the designer and assigned certifier roles from document preparation to supervision of works and completion of statutory documentation.
