Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Building Regulations: Discussion

3:40 pm

Mr. Aidan O'Connor:

No, absolutely not. I anticipate they will find particular work in this respect. This is much more demanding, in that one must now have drawings that show building control compliance when one starts a job and not as one works through the job. One will be obliged to submit building-control-compliant drawings at one's commencement notice. This will mean much more work upfront. From a technological point of view, there will be much more work, as everything must be defined. It will not simply be a wall of whatever kind. Everything will be specified in detail - the form of construction, the form of insulation, the form of firestop, etc. Detail will be required.
