Site Planning Professionals

“David worked on our house renovation from Jan-Jul 2016. We found him to be personable, accessible, opinionated (in a good way) and committed to delivering a project that works well and is beautiful. During the design of our house, David worked through three iterations of drawings until he and we agreed a plan. David gained a good understanding of what we needed and incorporated our needs into the plans. David helped us to recruit a very good builder. During the build it was invaluable having David around to ensure building was being done in accordance with national safety standards but also to negotiate with the builder how certain work should be done e.g. David insisted on RSJs being recessed, had strong opinions on the height of the extension, and the positioning of a roof light to achieve maximum light and aesthetic appeal. David was a great help in telling us where to source materials in particular the door but also floors, the kitchen and bathroom furniture. He renovates houses all the time so if you know what you want, he can tell you where to get it. David is really interested in producing beautiful work so he's a great person to have in your corner and is always a pleasure to deal with. We recommend highly.”

“We've recently completed a renovation project with DW Architects and our experience could not have been more positive. David really listened to our wishes and needs and took these to a whole new level creating something really special and unique for us. The design was everything we wanted and more. David was also phenomenal throughout the entire planning and build process. He was so involved at every stage and every decision - not just structural design issues but also interior design decisions. We felt so supported at all times. I would highly recommend DW Architects for anyone considering instructing an architect - one of the best decisions we ever made.”

“Enda and his team are very approachable and very professional. Any queries or concerns we had during the process (which were few) were dealt with quickly. Enda is extremely easy to work with and always came back to us with high quality ideas, suggestions and alternatives as required. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to family and friends.”

“McCann Moore helped us to realise our dream of extending and modernising our family home throughout. They assisted us in engaging and managing professional contractors to deliver the project on our behalf, providing a turnkey service for the required budget. Pauls attention to detail is excellent, he listened to our ideas and provided his own, without which the final result would have been greatly diminished. A thoroughly excellent architectural and project management practice for all sizes of projects”

“OnlineArchitect helped me realise the potential of my property. Their clever digital tools helped me understand design and renovation possibilities as well as making instant sense or the potential costs and timeline involved. A simple and cost-effective step to take if you are considering upgrades or renovations but also really useful as an indication of the potential for a prospective buyer.”

“Hi, Gerard did a drawing for our extension, we found him to be very professional and was very quick to come back with a draft drawing for us.”

“Happy with the overall experience of getting my Bungalow designed and supervised by Zeno.”

“We engaged BDA to plan a renovation and extension of a 1930s build 3 bed semi. The renovation and extension involved a complete gutting of the existing building, extending to the back and new insulation. Alan Burns was our architect for the duration of the project. He helped assemble our team of builder (AK Builders), engineer (Robert Barry) and energy consultant (Arthur O Donnell) for the project and were more than satisfied with the result. BDA presented us with several designs and once we agreed on a final design they ran the tendering process and vetted the winner. All aspects of the project were over seen to a considerable level of detail by BDA and we had weekly site meetings to go over progress and address changes. We also utilised their optional fixtures and fittings advice and were accompanied to various blinds, lighting, kitchen and bathroom showrooms by Alan. We found his to be one of the best features as we simply did not have the time or expertise to apply the level of practical consideration that Alan provided before choosing our kitchen and bathroom. Also having Alan on board at this level meant that the builder had all rooms ready and correctly measured up for the delivery of the fixtures. Alan was present at all times during the project either by email or phone and never once delayed in giving us assistance or advice when we needed it. Post project snags were address by the builder and BDA were also heavily involved in this part of the process, ensuring that the original spec was fully realised. I would have no hesitation I recommending Bright Design Architects to anyone requiring their services.”

“We have worked with both Gareth and Seamus on separate projects. They have both been exceptionally pleasant to deal with. Skilled, knowledgeable, talented architects but above all, a couple of nice, reasonable guys. They have both provided very clear and unambiguous drawings and specifications and have managed the contractor-client relationships extremely well. The projects got finished and we all parted ways as friends - that's saying something! We would highly recommend this practice to home owners and contractors (or should we be encouraging competition?!?) equally.”

“Dermot Harrington designed a cohesive whole renewal of our 1993 Dormer, into a 21st century home. We are delighted with our new home, the outside garden and living space now feels like one, it is a relaxing space and easy to keep clutter free. Dermot took the hassle from each stage, from the tendering process to the planning permission. He always worked around our busy schedule and kept the project on schedule. Dermot provided an exceptional service, tailored to us which resulted in our dream extension.”
