Phibsborough

A whole house taken back to structure, with a side and rear extension to Francesco Panzeri's design and joinery made in our workshop.

Rathcoole

Designed and built by us, including bathrooms built almost exactly to our 3D designs and joinery throughout.

Leixlip

A three-month renovation. The client wrote that the team were "incredibly tidy and neat around the property".

House renovations

A whole house, one plan

A whole-house renovation touches everything: structure, roof, services, stairs, kitchens, bathrooms and joinery. We plan it as one job, bring in the engineer and other professionals the house needs, and build it with our own crew and joiners.

Alex Martins Ferreira holds a Bachelor's degree in Construction Project Management and has over 25 years' experience across construction, engineering and project delivery. He is your contact from the first visit.

Two ways to start

Already have drawings? We price and build from your architect's or designer's drawings and work with your design team.

Need design help? We develop layouts, interiors, 3D visualisation, planning and design drawings and the construction concept, bringing in the appropriate architect, engineer or other professional where specialist engineering, certification or regulated services are required, and can then build it.

Delighted to give a 5 star review to Alex and his team after employing them for an extensive 3 month renovation. The entire team were incredibly tidy and neat around the property, they were always solution orientated and they brought excellent craftsmenship throughout each aspect of the renovation. Would recommend them 100%.

Questions

Common questions

Do you work from an architect's drawings?

Yes. Phibsborough was built to Francesco Panzeri's design. We price and build from your architect's or designer's drawings and work with your design team.

Can you design the renovation?

Yes. We designed and built the Rathcoole house. Design is a paid service with a fixed fee quoted after the first meeting, and we bring in an architect or engineer where the project needs one.

What if you find problems once the house is opened up?

The condition of the house once it is opened up is one of the main things that affects the cost. Your detailed written quotation sets out what is included, so anything outside it is clear from the start.

Do you keep the house tidy during the works?

We aim to. On the Leixlip renovation the client wrote that the team were "incredibly tidy and neat around the property".

Do you publish renovation prices?

No. Every house is different, so we prepare a detailed written quotation from the drawings and a site visit.

Do you work in my area?

We work within 50 km of Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath. That covers all of Dublin and towns in Meath, Kildare, Louth (such as Drogheda) and north Wicklow.
