At Arghco, we are proud to announce that our resources are now certified as Project Supervisor Design Process (PSDP) professionals. This important step means that we can directly support self-build projects, homeowners, and small builders in meeting their legal safety obligations under Irish construction regulations — quickly, efficiently, and without unnecessary complexity.
What is a PSDP?
The PSDP is a legally required role under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013 in Ireland. Appointing a PSDP is mandatory for most construction projects, including self-build homes, extensions, and renovations where multiple contractors or trades are involved.
The PSDP ensures that health and safety are considered at every stage of the design process — from concept to construction. Their responsibilities include:
- Identifying potential design risks at an early stage.
- Coordinating the input of all designers and contractors.
- Preparing and maintaining the Safety and Health Plan.
- Ensuring compliance with relevant legislation throughout the project.
Without a PSDP in place, homeowners and builders may face delays, fines, or even legal liability if an accident occurs.
