Assigned Certifier

The well publicised cases of poor construction standards, fire safety issues and the presence of pyrite in a number of developments, has highlighted the need for substantial improvements relating to building control systems in Ireland.

As of March 1st 2014, the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (BCAR) provides a more rigorous system for control and monitoring of certain buildings or works ensuring compliance with the relevant building regulations.

This legislation requires mandatory design certification, lodgement of plans and particulars, builder’s oversight, certification and mandatory inspections by a nominated Assigned Certifier with increased reliance on additional certification by key personnel involved with the building process.

Omega Surveying Services as Chartered Building Surveyors, possess the requisite experience and expertise to carry out this role.
