    Get an Atchitect first. Seriously .
    The building design comes first then the structure.
    Look up RIAI website

    planning is approved so design is there already - you think I still need an architect?.

    You can retain any Private Practice with one of the following Profesdionals:-

    1. Chartered Building Surveyor. Look up the website of the Society of Chartered Surveyors of Ireland.(SCSI)
    2. Registered Building Surveyor. Look up SCSI.
    3. Chartered Building Engineer. Look up - https://cbuilde.com/page/southern_ireland_region
    4. Chartered Civil Engineer. Look up Engineers Ireland.
    5. Architect.

    As you will be spending a substantial amount of money, get a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance, which should be approx €40,000 more than the cost of your proposed house.

    Visit at least 2 houses where they acted as the Constructional Professional of the build and provided Certification. Inspect the house and chat to the home owners.

    It would also be advantageous to get a Bill of Quantities from a Chartered Quantity Surveyor before commencing. Look up SCSI.

    OP will probably still need a structural engineer. 😉

    But, but said engineer will have to retain CHARTERED status according to some people!
