The new Building Control Amendment Regulations has introduced the new roles of Design Certifier and Assigned Certifier from 1st March 2014. Your architect can expand his/her services to include Design Certifier for an additional fee, but the Assigned Certifier must be a new and separate appointment. Only Registered Architects, Chartered Engineers and Chartered Building Surveyors are permitted to carry out this role. We intend to offer these services to our clients once we receive appropriate training.
