EASCA
Contacts Directory and Building Enquiry Facility
Contacts
will be sectioned into trades, professions and services. The contacts
directory will consist principally of EASCA members. However,
it may also include certain public services and authorities that
EASCA deems useful. This resource will include contacts in the
following areas:
a)
planning consultants, architects, engineers, quantity surveyors,
environmental consultants, project managers, contractors and
sub-contractors, and financial institutions
b)
suppliers and installers of materials, building systems and
technologies
c)
public sector services relating to planning, natural and built
environment, energy, natural and built heritage, water and waste
services, fire safety, disability access
d)
environmental organisations, NGO’s and charities
e)
national and EU grant award bodies
f)
training courses
Within
the contacts directory, each EASCA member will be listed in their
relevant section, including contact details, information on their
services, and relevant qualifications they possess, where applicable.
Email/ Telephone Building Enquiry Service
Based
on the growing volume of enquiries Construct Ireland has been
receiving for information/assistance with building projects, EASCA
are developing a building enquiry facility, where interested parties
can request information/assistance from EASCA members equipped
to field their enquiry. This facility is intended to act as a
catalyst for business between EASCA members and potential clients.
For ease of use and to ensure members receive the highest quality of enquiries,
this section will be subdivided. Once the content is deemed suitable by EASCA,
there are two fundamental concerns here in order to deliver a useful service.
Firstly,
users of EASCA may wish to contact providers of specific services
and materials, or may wish to contact service providers with regard
to every aspect of their project. Therefore, users should choose
either to be put in contact with service and materials providers
related to a specific area, or to submit their project to all
EASCA members.
In
essence, this facility will exist so that users can submit enquiries
to EASCA members regarding building projects. It may be useful
to have two options for enquiries here, in terms of user friendliness
and ensuring members receive only relevant enquiries: Pre Planning
and Post Planning.
Pre planning
This
section will consist of useful information and contacts for users
whose projects have not yet entered the planning process. It will
include everything from the services they need to get their project
off the ground, to information on products that they can specify
once planning permission has been granted. The reason for inclusion
of information on products and materials, for instance, at this
stage, is that it could influence the nature of the planning proposal,
and will widen the amount of enquiries that consenting EASCA members
receive, which will therefore help to bring business to members.
Post Planning
This
section will consist of contacts whom EASCA users can specify
services or products from regarding a project that has been granted
planning permission.
Members will have the option of being contactable either by users at pre or
post planning stages, or both, subject to their preference. Some members may,
for instance wish not to field enquiries from pre planning enquiries, if they
feel this may involve them dealing with projects which may never come to fruition.
