If you’re self-building your home in ROI, you may wish to know that the new building control regulations have been relaxed starting the 1st of September 2015. As we’ve covered previously you will now have the choice to opt out of statutory certification – but you will have to show by ‘alternative means’ that you have met your obligations ( i.e. prove that you’re building to current standards).
The new ROI building control legislation for self-builders to ‘opt out’ of certain requirements has been published along with homeowner guidelines. To view these click on the two links below:1. New building regulations, homeowner guidelines
