Builder gone with final payment or Certs.

Check if the building was submitted for BCAR. To do this your brother would have had to create an account on the BCMS at the start of the project and click on links he received accepting the role of building owner. He's also have had to sign and return a few forms to the architect.

To get a Commencement Certificate 4 persons must log in to the BCMS. The client, the builder, the designer and the Assigned Certifier. Each party must register and accept their role before it will allow continuation.

The names of the 4 persons are stated in the documents and you can get details from the Local Authority Building Control

Your brother would have chosen the Opt Out Option. €30 was paid and the Commencement Notice was issued a few days later by the BCMS. End of BCMS process.

Opt Out Option means that your Surveyor will produce a bespoke Cert of Compliance with the Building Regulations and Planning.

Not opting out is an expensive option and in the end the Certificate of Compliance is issued by the BCMS.

Yes you can retain any Surveyor or Engineer or Architect to provide the necessary Cert of Compliance.

If you can find the details of your brothers Commencement Certificate on the site below, you will get the Designers name and the Engineers name and details.

Go down to the end of the open page on the website and select your County Council, and search for your details as shown on the Commencement Cert

You can get the engineers details and contact him and ask him if he is willing to furnish you with a Cert of Compliance.

if he refused - retain another Surveyor.

Yes.

It is very important to have a Certificate of Compliance with the Building Regulations, and Planning.

This will be required when the house is being sold.

Thats perfect

An Opinion on a Certificate of Compliance with Planning and the Building Regulations, will be required for the works carried out, by a Purchasers Solicitor, if your brother decides to sell his house.

That’s all you require. This is what your Engineer /Architect will give to you.

What else do you expect a Construction Professional to do.

Firstly they must have a Professional Qualification. They can only certify what is visible, and must ensure that everything that is visible is in Compliance with the Building Regulations and Planning - and provide written Certification of same, and provide Professional Indemnity Insurance to cover the Certificate for a Statutory period of 6 years, and can be sued and deemed negligent if something that is Certified is not in compliance.

Without this Certification the Conveyancing may fail.

If Clients want an Opinion on all of the works, they should retain a Professional before the works commence.

If the client ops out of the Building Control Management System (BCMS) they will get an Opinion on Compliance.

If the Client is building a dwellinghouse. and don’t wish to get an Opinion on Compliance, the Client can choose to not opt out, and they will obtain a Certificate of Compliance which cannot contain the word “Opinion”
