A short recap:<\/p>\n
S.I. No.9 of 2014 came into play March 2014 where projects (falling under and subject to the Building Regulations, type & exemptions) require:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Design Certifier
\n\u2022 Assigned Certifier<\/p>\n
With less than a week to go; there is a scheduled change in legislation from 1st September such that ‘one-off’ houses and extensions are exempt from the above S.I9 requirements.<\/p>\n
Sometimes it’s easy to lose track of exactly what you want. So here it is. This is what I want.<\/p>\n
1. I’m happy inspecting and certifying work but I don’t want to take the full liability for other peoples work (this was what was expected under SI9)<\/p>\n
2. I’m happy that self-builders from 1st September can construct their own homes and extensions<\/p>\n
3. I’m not happy that the Local Authorities will only be inspecting 15% of construction projects in Ireland. This needs to be 100% or it’s worthless. The numbers that can make this happen are well documented on the BRegs Forum<\/a><\/p>\n 4. I’m not happy that we’re still in a situation where a developer can employ his own Design & Assigned Certifier for their own projects. The result are multiple Priory Halls happening all over again.<\/p>\n Comments welcome…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A short recap: S.I.
