Every cert, every doc, organised before the keys go in.
OpenHouse Build holds every BCAR submission, HomeBond cert, BER, fire safety document, sub-contractor cert, and homeowner manual against the unit it belongs to. Audit-ready from day one. No more two-day scrambles before handover.
The regulation
The paperwork is not optional. It’s the law.
Required
A Certificate of Compliance on Completion, registered, or the building cannot be occupied, sold, or used.
21 days
The window the Building Control Authority has to register, reject, or query a CCC submission.
Every party
The CCC Annex must reference ancillary certs from every designer and sub-contractor on the project.
The Annex builds itself when the system is set up to hold every document against the unit it belongs to.

The Handover Pack
One unit. Every document. One view.
This is the view a developer has wanted for thirty years. Every cert, every spec, every manual, against the unit it belongs to. Filterable across the whole scheme. Audit-ready, instantly.
The doc to look at
BER cert, Unit A12. Outstanding from the assessor.
The platform flagged it on day nineteen, with eleven working days to go.
How Build Works
Three steps, no curve.
Set up the scheme.
Add your development, units, and sub-contractors. Build pulls in the compliance checklist for the unit type automatically (BCAR, BER, fire safety, HomeBond, and the rest).
Documents land where they belong.
Email, upload, or scan a document and the platform files it against the right unit. Sub-contractors get scoped access to upload their own certs directly.
Hand over without scrambling.
A week before handover, the platform shows you exactly what's outstanding. The homeowner pack assembles itself. The audit trail is already there.
What Build Does
Four jobs, off your plate.
Compliance tracking by unit.
BCAR, BER, HomeBond, fire safety, Part L, Part F. The full Irish residential checklist, per unit, with status visible at a glance.
Sub-contractor portal.
Your electrical contractor uploads their own certs against the unit. No more chasing them for paperwork.
Homeowner pack assembly.
Manuals, warranties, walk-throughs, certs, all bundled into the handover pack automatically. The pack the buyer gets is the pack the platform built.
Audit-ready forever.
Every document is dated, version-controlled, and traceable. If an inspector or a buyer's solicitor asks for a document in five years, you find it in five seconds.
Built For You
You probably recognise one of these.
Construction directors.
You're responsible for the project from foundation through to keys. Build is the document spine you've been wishing for.
Customer care and aftersales leads.
You're the person buyers come back to. Build hands you a complete document set per home so you have answers when residents ask.
Sub-contractors and certifiers.
Working on a development that uses OpenHouse. You get scoped access to upload your certs and confirm completion, without learning new software.
Audit-ready. Always.
Every document is timestamped, versioned, and stored in Europe. Inspectors and solicitors can be given read-only access to the documents that concern them, without seeing the rest of your operation.
Built by a working property developer in Cork who has run his own handovers and remembers every two-day scramble in that list above.

Part of the OpenHouse platform.
Build is one module of six. Same data, different surfaces, one platform that runs every stage of a development.
