Michael, Ciara, Alan and Team were fantastic to deal with over the last number of months. We had worked with other architects prior to this but they were simply in a league of their own and surpassed all our expectations! They are efficient, responsive and timely. Nothing was ever a problem and they were open to adapting the plans to our needs and wishes. They also had great advice, ideas and suggestions to help elevate our plans. We got planning permission no problem with their help and are looking forward to continue partnering with them throughout our build.

Micheal, Ciara and the team at Mc Kenna Associates have been expectional to deal with. Their expertise & advice has been invaluable to us. We made no changes to the first daft of plans done by the team which shows how competent they are with their work. We received planning permission first time on a site which we thought may have been problematic and Mc Kenna Associates made this possible. We cannot wait to begin our build and continue to work with Michael & Ciara for the duration of this. Excellent service, guidance and support from the team.

I Highly recommend McKenna and Associates. Michael, Ciara and Gary were fantastic throughout our planning journey. Michael and team listened to our design brief and really understood how to bring it to life with an internal flow that expertly suits our young family at present and also as we grow with our family home in the future.
Everything they do is very professional and all their suggestions are both practical and tasteful, you know you are in very capable hands throughout. We couldn't be happier with the house design and their professional service is 1st class throughout.Thanks again Ciara, Michael and Gary.

I would highly recommend McKenna and Associates. Michael, Owen and the team were excellent and a pleasure to work with. They listened to my needs and ideas and delivered a considered design that incorporated all of this. The team is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced and provided lots of guidance regarding the planning permission process. Both professional and friendly, they were always willing to answer my questions and find a solution. No problem or question was too big, and I was impressed by the attention to detail. I’m very thankful to the team and cannot recommend them enough!

I highly recommend McKenna & Associates as an excellent company to use for any architectural services required. I asked Michael, Ciara and the team to take on a project requiring 3 planning applications for members of my family in a rural setting. They engaged fully from the outset and provided excellent guidance, creative design inputs and overall management of the project, achieving a very successful result. All commitments were delivered in the timeframe requested. I was very impressed by their professional approach and attention to detail, combined with a personal touch that is often lacking in many companies. I am more than happy to recommend them as a great company to work with.

Hi McKenna and Associates,
I just wanted to pop online today to say a massive thank you to Michael, Ciara and particularly Dennis for helping me through my planning journey. When I started my journey, I was a complete novice, unaware of building regulations, price of builds and beneficial house layout strategies etc. However, once I got in contact with McKenna and associates, all my fears and worries were laid to rest. All my answers were answered promptly and personal advice was always given throughout the process. I wasn't just a number, I was treated like an old friend. When designing my house, Dennis considered all of my needs and aided me to design the house that suited me as a person. No request was too big or small.
On Feb 2nd 2021, I received my conditional grant of planning on the first occasion and I wholeheartedly cannot wait to further work with McKenna and associates in the future. I cannot recommend them enough! Many thanks ☺️

We recently worked with McKenna & Associates to apply for planning for our new home. Michael and his team deliver a extremely professional service with a abundance of advice and experience between them.
Although delivering such a professional service there was always a personal touch which ment right from the start there was a thrust and understanding between each other.
Every phone call or query we made was met with a welcoming acknowledgement and williness to come up with a solution.
We really look forward to working with Michael and his team for the next part of our journey!
We would and "have" highly recommend McKenna & Associates

Michael, Regina and all the team at McKenna & Associates were a pleasure to work with. They were highly professional in every stage of the process. The plan they created for us was tastefully designed as well as being extremely practical. It was tailored to our site and the sunpath around it as well as fitting in with our tastes. Michael really took on board what we wanted and combined this with creative flair and a knowledge of what would and wouldn’t be acceptable to the planning authority to create a design that myself and Conor are both thrilled with. We were extremely happy with the service provided to us and would be delighted to recommend Michael and the team to anyone.
