Leeson Lane
Client: The Office of Public Works (OPW)
Architect: The Office of Public Works (OPW)
Engineer/s: Civil/Structural Engineer: DBFL Consulting Engineers Services Engineer: Cundall (Ireland) Ltd

The project faced considerable adversity, including the insolvency of two key Reserved Specialist subcontractors: the facade specialist during their pre-construction phase, just two months prior to their scheduled start on site and the electrical subcontractor just two months into their works. Despite these setbacks, the project was completed just five months beyond the original Date for Substantial Completion—a testament to the resilience, coordination and dedication of the entire project team (design and construction). Internally, the project gave rise to a new acronym NZT (Near Zero Tolerance) “due to the extraordinary level of precision required in coordinating various finishes. The restoration and integration of the historic Dispensary building was exceptionally demanding yet, conversely rewarding. Matching the original terrazzo floors, wrought iron metalwork, lime plaster and brickwork, all necessitated exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail but when complete were a source of much pride. The result is a building widely praised for its exceptional attention to detail and quality of finish by all who visit.

Kilcawley Construction
Kilsaran Headquarters Redevelopment
Client: Kilsaran
Architect: ABK Architects
Engineer/s: Structural Engineer – PUNCH Consulting Engineers Service Engineer – IN2 Engineering

Kilsaran Headquarters is exactly the kind of ambition this country needs to celebrate. It takes a fragmented industrial campus and, through a retain‑and‑enhance strategy and a fully precast MMC frame, turns it into a unified, daylight‑rich headquarters that is both a serious piece of architecture and a live showroom for Irish low‑carbon concrete innovation. We talk a lot about keeping value, skills and innovation on this island; here is a client actually doing it – investing heavily in MMC, BIM, CarbonCure, SCC and GGBS, and proving they work in a complex, live manufacturing environment rather than on a greenfield site. The project delivers on every front: one month early, on budget, zero lost time injuries, minimal snagging, transformed operations and a demonstrator for the next generation of Irish commercial buildings. Recognising Kilsaran HQ is not just about rewarding a well‑delivered job; it is about backing the sort of client ambition Ireland needs if the construction industry – and the country – is to move forward.
