Since March 2014, most construction projects in Ireland must comply with the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014 (BCAR). These regulations were introduced to ensure that building works are designed and constructed in line with the Irish Building Regulations, with full accountability from start to finish.

BCAR compliance requires the appointment of two key roles: a Design Certifier, who confirms that the design complies with the Building Regulations, and an Assigned Certifier, who inspects the works during construction and certifies compliance upon completion. All relevant documents, drawings, and certificates are submitted through the Building Control Management System (BCMS), which is managed by local authorities.

Our team has the expertise to guide you through every stage of BCAR compliance. We coordinate with architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure that the design, inspections, and documentation are fully in order. This includes preparing commencement notices, inspection plans, ancillary certificates, and final certification of compliance.

For homeowners, BCAR compliance gives reassurance that your new build, extension, or renovation is constructed safely, legally, and to the highest standards. For developers and commercial clients, it provides the necessary documentation for financing, insurance, leasing, or sale of the property. Without BCAR compliance, projects can face delays, legal complications, or difficulties during property transactions.

By taking a proactive approach to BCAR compliance, we ensure that your project moves smoothly through the process, with every requirement met and properly documented. Our focus is on clarity, accountability, and efficiency, giving you peace of mind that your building is fully compliant with Irish regulations.
