Established by Government, CIRI is designed to help ensure that construction work is carried out by competent, compliant and accountable construction professionals and businesses.
The register will include builders, contractors, specialist subcontractors and tradespeople operating across the construction sector. Registration demonstrates that a construction provider has met the eligibility requirements set out in legislation and has successfully completed CIRI's assessment process.
The introduction of CIRI represents an important step in raising standards across the industry and providing greater confidence for homeowners, consumers, developers and clients undertaking building projects.
CIRI provides a clear way to demonstrate credibility and stand out in a competitive marketplace. Beginning in January 2027, different divisions of the construction industry will be called to register over a number of years. The first division will be large residential building providers of over ten housing units and builders of apartments.
Choosing the right construction professional can be challenging. The CIRI Register raises standards across the industry and provides greater confidence for homeowners, consumers, developers and clients undertaking building projects, helping to bring greater confidence and transparency to construction projects of any size.
