The Building Regulations 1997 – 2019 apply to the design and construction of buildings. The minimum performance requirements that a building must achieve are set out in the Second Schedule to the Building Regulations which can be found on the Irish Statute Book website. The Building Regulations apply to the construction of: - New buildings (residential and non-residential) - Extensions and material alterations to existing buildings - Certain Parts of the Regulations apply to changes of use of existing buildings, and - Major renovations Technical guidance on compliance with the various parts of the Building Regulations is given in the related Technical Guidance Documents (TGDs) Parts A – M respectively. The TGDs provide technical guidance on how to comply with the regulations in practical terms. Where works are carried out in accordance with the relevant TGDs, such works are considered to be, prima facie, in compliance with the relevant Building Regulations. The primary responsibility for compliance with the requirements of the Building Regulations rests with the designers, builders and owners of buildings. Interpretation of the legislation is, ultimately, a matter for the Courts. Implementation and enforcement of the Building Control system is a matter for the local Building Control Authority.

Tá feidhm ag na Rialacháin Foirgníochta 1997 – 2019 i dtaca le dearadh agus foirgníocht foirgneamh. Tá na hís-riachtanais feidhmíochta nach mór d’fhoirgneamh iad a shásamh leagtha amach sa Dara Sceideal a ghabhann leis na Rialacháin Foirgníochta atá ar fáil ar shuíomh gréasáin Leabhar Reachtanna na hÉireann. Baineann na Rialacháin Foirgnimh le tionscadail ina bhfuil na cinneálacha foirgneamh ag seo a leanas á dtógáil: - • Foirgnimh nua (aonaid chónaithe agus neamh-chónaithe araon) - • Foirgnimh nua (aonaid chónaithe agus neamh-chónaithe araon) - • Baineann Codanna Áirithe de na rialacháin le hathruithe sa chineáil úsáide maidir le foirgnimh atá ann cheana féin, agus - • Tionscadail athchóirithe mhóra Tá treoir theicniúil maidir leis an gcomhlíonadh le codanna éagsúla de na Rialacháin Foirgníochta ar fáil i gCáipéisí um Threoir Theicniúil i gCáipéisí um Threoir Theicniúil (TGDanna) Codanna A – M faoi seach. Sna TGDanna, tá treoir theicniúil ar fáil maidir le conas comhlíonadh leis na rialacháin go praiticiúil. Sa chás go ndéantar na hoibreacha ar aon dul leis na TGDanna ábhartha, meastar na hoibreacha a bheith, prima facie, ag comhlíonadh leis na Rialacháin Foirgníochta ábhartha. Is leis na dearthóirí, na tógálaiteh agus le húinéirí na foirgneamh atá an fhreagracht as an gcomhlíonadh leis na Rialacháin Foirgníochta. Is faoi na Cúirteanna é sainmhíniú na reachtaíochta a léirmhiniú, ag deireadh thiar. Tá sé de fhreagracht ag an Údarás Rialaithe Tógála an Córas Rialaithe Tógála a chur i bhfeidhm agus a fhorfheidhmiú araon.
