Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014
The Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014 are applicable to all new domestic projects over 40m2 commencing after March 1st 2014.
We are registered as a builder to complete works under these new regulations. It is the ‘Building Owners’ responsibility to ensure that their new house is built to those standards by appointing qualified professionals to undertake such works on their behalf.
The ‘Building Owner’ must appoint a ‘Registered Professional’ (Registered Architect, Chartered Engineer or Registered Building Surveyor) as the ‘Designer Certifier’ to design and certify compliance with the ‘Building Regulations’. The ‘Building Owner’ is also required to appoint an ‘Assigned Certifier’ to sign off on all works on site (this person can be the same person as the ‘Design Certifier’). Finally, the ‘Building Owner’ is required to assign a nominated person as the ‘Builder’ and they must satisfy themselves of the nominated contractor’s competence and experience to complete the works in question. You should discuss further with your architect/engineer or contact our offices for further details.
