A new Construction Industry Register Ireland (CIRI) is set to launch by the end of 2025, aiming to provide a comprehensive list of competent builders across various sectors, from large firms to individual tradespeople. The register, developed to address past issues with building quality and scandals, will list builders who adhere to a strict code of practice, ensuring high-quality workmanship and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The independent board overseeing the register will assess builder competence based on previous projects, qualifications, and criminal records, offering homeowners a reliable resource for selecting trustworthy professionals.

It has been a long time coming, she says, explaining that the idea was first mooted 10 years ago. In early 2023, the Minister for Housing appointed the“The CIF, as a registration body, has developed a code of practice that these firms and individuals will undertake to comply with,” says Ingle. “Before, a consumer had to go and get references from any builder they potentially wanted to do work on their homes or build their home from scratch,” says Ingle. “ now, you’ve got this board looking at their work on your behalf.”
“Within the regulatory environment in Ireland for builders, we already have the Building Control and Market Surveillance office, which provides oversight, support and direction for the development, standardisation and implementation of the state’s Building Control Acts 1990-2014,” says Ingle. So the register “will comprise large home builders and developers rather than those who you’d call to build an extension for you”, she explains.
Will the register mean that the industry loses some of its 70,000-strong force, a figure recorded in the 2022 census? “Possibly, but some smaller entities might converge and set up together,” Ingle says.
