How do I find an engineer, architect or builder?

You will need a registered building professional for stage one and stage two of your application. That can be an engineer, an architect or a quantity surveyor. You do not have to use the same professional for both stages.

Later on, you may need contractors, builders and trades people. Your building professional can help and guide you at that point. The lists below are a place to start.

Where do I check that a professional is registered?

Each profession has a governing body that keeps a register of its members.

• Quantity surveyors and building surveyors: check the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland register
• Engineers: use the "Find a member" search on the Engineers Ireland website
• Architects: find an architect through the RIAI

Where can I find professionals near me in Donegal?

Golden Pages lists local firms. A listing does not mean a firm is registered, so check the registers above too.

• Consulting engineers in Donegal on Golden Pages
• Building surveyors in Donegal on Golden Pages
• Architects in Donegal on Golden Pages
• Quantity surveyors: search Golden Pages for quantity surveyors in Donegal.

Trades and contractors

This list of trade and building contractors comes from the Donegal County Council website. Talk to your building professional before you hire anyone.
