Three disciplines, one team.

👉Architecture. Designing homes, extensions and buildings that suit the site, the budget and the way you live.
👉Civil and structural engineering. Making sure what is designed stands up, from foundations to roof.
👉Project management. Keeping the build on time, on budget and on track from first sketch to final handover.

Having all three under one roof means fewer handovers, clearer communication and one team that knows your project inside out.

Every home starts here. Foundations are complete on one of our current residential projects, and with a morning like this, the site visit was no hardship at all. From first sketch to final handover, our team stays with every project through each stage of the build. We’ll keep you posted as it rises.

It’s always a pleasure to see a project come together like this. Thank you to La Maison Interior Design for the kind words and for sharing these beautiful images of the finished home.

This townhouse rebuild was on a tight site, bordered by a local road and close to neighbouring homes. Our aim was to make every square inch count and give our clients a home that feels open, bright and spacious. Seeing it finished, with La Maison’s interiors, Neven McFeely’s landscaping, flooring from Scott’s Wide Plank Flooring and a stunning kitchen from Northbrook Designs, is really special.

Rebuilding a home is a big step, and we’re so glad to have been part of getting it right for this family. Congratulations to everyone involved.

One practice, three places to work.

Our architects, engineers and project managers work from the office in Letterkenny, from home and from sites right across the north west. It is why we were shortlisted for Best Workplace for Remote & Distributed Team at this year’s Workplace Excellence Awards, and it is a big part of how we keep projects moving.

What makes it work is not the technology, although that helps. It is shared standards, one set of drawings everyone works from, and a team that picks up the phone.

Planning permission and Building Regulations are not the same thing, and mixing them up is one of the most common mistakes we see.

Planning permission is about whether you can build it: what it looks like, where it sits and how it affects the neighbours.
Building Regulations are about how it is built: structure, fire safety, energy performance and access.

A project can be exempt from planning and still have to meet every Building Regulation. If you are not sure which applies to you, ask us before you start. 074 912 9243.

Buying a site in Donegal? Check these before you sign.

👉Can it get planning? Look at the planning history, the county development plan and any rural housing policy that applies to you.
👉Will it pass a site assessment? Sites without mains drainage need a site suitability assessment for a wastewater treatment system, and not every site passes.
👉Access and sightlines. The council will want safe access onto the road.
👉Services. Water, power and broadband, and what they will cost to bring in.
👉Ground conditions. What is under the topsoil affects your foundations and your budget.

A little professional advice before you buy can save you from a site you cannot build on. Call us on 074 912 9243.
