Old Bray Hotel Development

  • Project Overview

The Old Bray Hotel Development was a residential project that involved the construction of 49 modern apartment units on the site of the former Bray Hotel in Bray, County Wicklow. Valued at €15 million, the development aimed to rejuvenate the historic site, blending the charm of Bray’s heritage with modern, high-quality living spaces. This project has contributed to addressing the housing demand in Bray, providing comfortable and contemporary accommodation in a central location.

OCF's Role in the Project

OCF Project & Commercial Management played a crucial role in completing and closing the Old Bray Hotel Development by acting as the Assigned Certifier. Our focus was on ensuring that the project complied fully with the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations (BCAR) and all necessary procedures related to the Building Control Management System (BCMS).

As the Assigned Certifier, OCF was responsible for overseeing and coordinating the compliance process to ensure the project met all statutory building regulations before completion. Our duties included managing the inspection schedule throughout the final stages of construction, carrying out site inspections, and liaising closely with the construction team to ensure that all work complied with the relevant building standards.

We also played a key role in verifying that all stages of construction were properly documented and aligned with BCAR requirements. This involved ensuring that all parties involved in the construction, including contractors and designers, adhered to the required regulatory framework. OCF managed the submission of necessary compliance documents to the BCMS, ensuring all certifications were correctly filed and recorded to facilitate a smooth handover process.

Through a meticulous approach to compliance and a deep understanding of the BCAR and BCMS systems, OCF ensured that the development was delivered with full regulatory certification, providing stakeholders and future residents with confidence in the safety and quality of the new apartments.

Project Impact

The transformation of the Old Bray Hotel into 49 high-quality apartments has injected new life into a significant part of Bray’s urban landscape. The project combined historical significance with modern functionality, helping to meet the growing residential demand in County Wicklow. The development now stands as a modern residential offering that respects the history of the site while providing contemporary, comfortable living spaces for its occupants.

OCF’s role as the Assigned Certifier was critical in ensuring the successful close-out of the project, with a focus on compliance and quality assurance. By navigating the complex requirements of the BCAR and the BCMS system, OCF helped guarantee that the apartments were delivered in full compliance with statutory regulations, ensuring that they were safe, certified, and ready for occupation. Our expertise in compliance and regulatory processes assured all stakeholders, cementing the quality and reliability of the Old Bray Hotel Development.
