Disability Access Certificates
in Clare and Limerick

A Disability Access Certificate (DAC) is a legal requirement for ensuring that buildings (except dwelling houses) comply with the Technical Guidance Document Part M, which governs the creation of universally accessible spaces. At Diarmuid Keane + Associates, we specialise in preparing and submitting Disability Access Certificates for properties across Clare and Limerick.

When a Disability Access Certificate is Required

A Disability Access Certificate must be obtained during the design stage of any new building project that will be frequented by members of the public. The DAC application is typically submitted to the relevant Building Control Authority alongside the Fire Safety Certificate application to ensure that all legal requirements are met before construction begins.

For existing buildings, a DAC is necessary if you plan to carry out material alterations. However, the building must already be compliant with planning permission and have a valid Fire Safety Certificate before proceeding.
