New Dwellings
ROUTE 1 - PROVISIONAL B.E.R. CERTIFICATE
A provisional certificate should be done at the design stage of a dwelling. The result of the energy assessment will allow the builder/ self-builder/ purchaser to understand how energy efficient the dwelling will be when completed.
This will allow for any changes needed to the dwelling in order to improve the energy efficiency.
Where a provisional B.E.R. certificate has been issued this will be required to be upgraded to a full B.E.R. certificate before first occupancy.
A provisional B.E.R. certificate is valid for 2 years from date of issue.
ROUTE 2 - FULL B.E.R. CERTIFICATE
If you do not want to alter the original building specifications you can get a full B.E.R. certificate when the dwelling is built and before first occupancy.
To obtain a B.E.R. certificate for a new dwelling:
1) Contact Baxter Energy Rating to discuss your needs.
2) I will send you a Questionnaire and a Letter of Engagement.
3) Return the completed Questionnaire and signed letter of engagement along with a copy of the final plans, elevations, specifications, sections and site layout.
4) On receipt of the documents I will complete the B.E.R.assessment using the DEAP software.
5) You will be advised of the result and an invoice will be issued.
6) On receipt of payment I will forward your B.E.R. certificate(s) and the certificate(s) will be registered on the S.E.I. database.
