    Very briefly (as this IS covered to death elsewhere)
    They bring an end to self-build in the traditional sense
    & require the Certifier to take on huge liability
    Both will be an increase in costs.
    Though It is very hard give a % extra cost. Time will tell.

    Thanks for the reply. Therefore if you are getting different registered builders for the diffetent stages of your self build the increase in cost will be minimum? My understanding was that the increase in cost could be upwards on 15% of build.

    in what way are these both an increase in cost?

    You must appoint a building company for the whole build.

    So you cant get different people to do it. That answers the self build question so. Is that written in the regs? Any links?

    An architect in Galway told me yesterday he is working off an increase of 7%.

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Increases in costs:_
    As Architectural Technicians or "Grandfather Architects" are no longer able to certify compliance, there are less professionals providing the service, less competition so possible increase in costs to client.

    The increase cost of PI (Professional Indemnity) is unknown at the moment. A number of Insurers have left the Irish PI market. Therefore less competition in cover, a perceived increase in liability - therefore a big increase in PI premiums. This cost will be passed onto the client.
