Disability Access Certificates
Helping You Create Accessible, Compliant Buildings

Introduction
Creating buildings that are safe, inclusive and accessible is not only a legal requirement—it is an essential part of good building design. A Disability Access Certificate (DAC) demonstrates that a proposed development complies with Part M of the Building Regulations, ensuring buildings can be accessed and used safely by everyone.
At DGA Surveyors, our Chartered Building Surveyors provide professional Disability Access Certificate services for residential, commercial and public sector developments throughout Dublin and Ireland.
From early design advice to preparing and submitting DAC applications, we help clients navigate the approval process efficiently while reducing the risk of costly redesigns and project delays.
