How can we help?
There is a lot to take in, so at Riach Partnership, we aim to make it as easy as possible for you:
What is a Certifier of Design for Section 6?
The RIAS-regs Scheme for Certification of Design (Section 6 - Energy) for Domestic Buildings allows qualified Certifiers of Design to certify that the relevant parts of a design comply with the Building Standards for the purposes of a Building Warrant application. The advantages of this for the applicant are:
- The application process is shortened because the Local Authority verifier does not require to check the detail of the design.
- The application fee is reduced by 10%. A fee is payable to RIAS-regs for the Certificate of Design although this will be less than the 10% saving.
Riach can also prepare SAP calculations and Energy Performance Certificates which have been required for all new buildings since May 2007.
