Quality Assurance

Overview of service

ORS was appointed by the Land Development Agency (LDA) under the Project Tosaigh II initiative to provide Quality Assurance services for two major residential developments in Cabinteely and Clongriffin, Co. Dublin, comprising a total of 642 housing units.

Project Tosaigh II is a government-backed initiative led by the LDA to accelerate the delivery of affordable housing. The scheme funds or acquires homes for cost rental or below-market sale to eligible purchasers, complementing other supports such as the Help to Buy scheme and First Home Buyers Grant. Its aim is to bridge the affordability gap for renters and first-time buyers.

Quality Assurance Services

Under the LDA’s Quality Assurance and Quality Control Services Framework, ORS was appointed as Technical Monitor to provide independent oversight across developments funded through Project Tosaigh II. The role undertaken by ORS focused on ensuring full compliance with statutory, regulatory, and quality standards, supporting the LDA in delivering homes to the highest possible standard. 

This involved close coordination with design teams and contractors, supported by a structured inspection and quality control regime. Regular design reviews, site visits, and technical workshops formed a core part of the ORS teams’ methodology, allowing for early identification of risks, resolution of technical issues, and assurance of quality throughout the construction phase. 

In addition to on-site monitoring, ORS drew on its in-house multidisciplinary expertise to assess project compliance across all key disciplines. The ORS team includes specialists in Civil, Structural, Infrastructure, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Safety, Disability Access, Environmental, and Sustainability, enabling us to provide a fully integrated approach to Technical Due Diligence and QAQC services. .

Through this framework, ORS continues to deliver critical support on multiple LDA projects, ensuring robust quality management from design through to handover across a wide portfolio of housing developments.

Quality Management

As part of its role on the Project Tosaigh II initiative, ORS maintained close and continuous collaboration with both developers and design teams to support the delivery of high-quality, compliant residential developments. This collaboration was a critical aspect of the project, ensuring that design responsibilities were clearly defined from the outset and that no gaps existed prior to commencing on site.  

To support this process, ORS maintained detailed site records and issues regular updates to key project stakeholders. This structured, transparent approach ensured developments progressed in accordance with project specifications, while also promoting accountability and proactive issue resolution throughout the construction phase, aligning delivery with both regulatory expectations and best practice within the housing sector. 

Project Tosaigh II highlights ORS’s capability to support large-scale housing delivery under the LDA framework. Through proactive management, close collaboration, and a rigorous QA process, we continue to help accelerate the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and affordable homes across Ireland.
