Good luck to our Site Engineer Pierce Mannion who takes on this charity challenge today. He has not just exceeded his initial fundraising target, but is close to doubling it!

Today is the last day to support his efforts for Cancer Care West who do such incredibly important work in our community.

We will be cheering Pierce on as he abseils down from the roof of Croke Park.

Delivering the National Cervical Screening Laboratory at The Coombe Hospital involved a lot of complexity - working within a busy, fully operational healthcare setting, where minimising disruption to patients and staff was essential.

The project required careful coordination, from installing complex building services to meeting strict performance standards for air quality, energy use, and overall efficiency, all while safely relocating specialist teams and sensitive equipment without interrupting vital services.

We’re proud to have delivered a project of this scale and complexity, and even more pleased to see it shortlisted for Public Choice – Project of the Year at the Irish Construction Excellence Awards, sponsored by the Construction Industry Federation.

Before and after of the same corridor – completely different atmosphere!

The first one is all exposed steel ribs, raw and unfinished. The second shows a place of stillness and reflection that stops you in your tracks.

This is the new Benedictine Monastery at Kylemore Abbey – one of the most unique projects we’ve had the pleasure of working on.

We’re honoured that this project has been shortlisted for Project of the Year at the Irish Construction Excellence Awards. There’s a public vote and we’d love your support.
