Our Ireland office offer Disability Access Certificate (DAC) application services, from the initial design review to achieve a granted certification, including compilation of the Compliance Report and Disability Access drawings, as well as liaising with Building Control during the review and approvals stage.

What is a Disability Access Certificate? 

A DAC is required under the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations and its function is to demonstrate compliance with Part M “Access and Use” of the Second Schedule of the Building Regulations.

In general, a DAC is required for new buildings and current buildings undergoing certain changes, which require a Fire Safety Certificate.

Maze Fire can provide a full service offering for the DAC application (which is similar to the services we offer for fire safety), including guidance through the approvals process in respect of disability access; from initial design review to compilation/submission of the DACs (where required), responding to any queries from the local authority during the approvals process.

Additionally, we also certify completed works in accordance with Part M (Access and Use) of the Building Regulations as required by the Building Control Regulations.
