Building Control
The Building Control Authority ensures compliance with Parts A to M of the Building Control Regulations so that dwellings and non-dwelling buildings are safe for the citizens to occupy and use. We assess and process Fire Safety Certificates and Disability Access Certificates for all non-domestic buildings including Apartments/Duplex.
We have responsibility for enforcing and surveillance of the Construction Products Regulations which ensures that all construction products conform to the Harmonised Standards, and we are the authorised body responsible for ensuring compliance with the Energy Performance of Building Regulations.
The aim of the building regulations is to provide for the safety and welfare of people in and about buildings, to provide for the special needs of disabled persons and for the conservation of fuel and energy. Effective compliance underpins markets, protects the environment and the rights and safety of the citizen.
The Council works collaboratively with the newly established National Building Control Office which has been set up to oversee and strengthen the Building Control Function in local authorities as a shared service within Dublin City Council.
