Assigned Certifier Services
Throughout the project, ORS acted as Assigned Certifier, working closely with the main contractor and design team to ensure full compliance with building regulations and the specific requirements of the Department of Education. Our role involved continuous collaboration, with bi-weekly site meetings, weekly inspections, and regular site walks to monitor construction progress, resolve issues, and maintain quality standards. ORS also led fortnightly BCAR workshops, bringing together all relevant parties to address Building Control (Amendment) Regulation requirements and ensure all certification and regulatory obligations were met.
In addition to site-based activities, ORS undertook the technical review of all submittals to verify that proposed building materials and systems complied with the standards set out in Technical Guidance Document Part D – Materials and Workmanship. Particular attention was given to material certification, harmonised testing procedures, and evolving compliance considerations following BREXIT. Throughout the build, ORS maintained ongoing coordination with the Fire Consultant and the Employer’s Multi-Disciplinary Design Team to address technical and regulatory matters proactively.
