BUILDING CONTROL ADVICE NOTE
Before Any Building Works Commence - Things you should check!
1. Building Control Legal Requirements - Commencement Notice & Fire Safety Certificates (FSC);
In accordance with the Building Regulations you are obliged to submit a Commencement Notice prior to
commencement of a development and it must be submitted not less than 14 days and not more than 28 days
before you wish to commence. The Commencement Notice must be submitted to the Local Authority via the
online national portal BCMS. Applicants are advised to register on this website in advance of submitting a
commencement notice via the attached link: www.localgov.ie/en/bcms
As the type of Commencement Notice required will vary depending on your proposed development, you are
advised to seek advice from your agent or architect on what type of commencement notice is relevant to your
proposed works. Alternatively please feel free to contact Monaghan Fire & Building Control Authority for
advice at 047-30521 or email: bcms@monaghancoco.ie
Please be advised that works can not begin until the applicant has received a valid commencement notice from
the Building Control Authority, and that it is an offence under the Building Control Act 1990 to proceed with the
works without a valid commencement notice and/or a valid FSC (if required for works/development).
2. Pre-Development Conditions;
If there are any Pre-Development conditions on the schedule of conditions attached to your permission you
should give your immediate attention to them prior to the commencement of your development.
