O’Domhnaill says new building regulation costs can be avoided by submitting commencement notices immediately

A Donegal councillor is urging people with planning permission to submit their commencement notices to Donegal County Council in the next two days in order to avoid substantial costs.
Councillor Seamus O’Domhnaill says new building regulations which come into force from the 1st of March mean architects or engineer will have to sign off on every stage of a building, and every material used in its construction. He says this could add up to €15,000 to the price of constructing a House.

He says the new regulations are secretive and unnecessary, and will place a burden on people building a new home……….
