Assuming a successful outcome, the Part L (2022) - Ireland compliance analysis (in relation to those aspects of compliance that can be tested before construction) or BER analysis is now complete.
In the case of compliance, the reports generated, together with appropriate supporting evidence, can now be submitted to Building Control.
The content of Part L submissions should be agreed in advance with the local Building Control officer as there may be differing interpretations during the early stages of implementation of the new regulations. These are likely to be resolved over time as a sufficient number of Competent Persons are trained and accredited. It may be necessary, for instance, to agree how compliance with Criterion 4 will be met post construction as part of the pre-Construction report. In the case of an BER analysis, the BER can now be lodged.
