Joseph Mackey Architects
Builders in Carlow, Co. Carlow
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 July 2026
“We are absolutely delighted with the home that Joseph Mackey designed for us. From the initial concept through to overseeing the entire build, his professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail were outstanding. He listened carefully to what we wanted and created a home that has exceeded all our expectations. His guidance throughout the construction process gave us great confidence, and the finished result is everything we had hoped for and more. We couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking for an architect who is talented, dedicated, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for helping us create our dream home.”
O'Flynn Architects
Builders in Carlow, Co. Carlow
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 July 2020
“We used O'Flynn Architects throughout our new build project in Kildare. Working closely with them for planning permission, tender and build phases. For the entire project, I found Padraigh and Leona great to deal with. Always very helpful, professional and personable. We had a good idea of what we wanted in our new house and Padraigh worked with us closely to achieve that, utilizing the space without blowing our budget. After being in the house over a year now, we are still so happy with everything and would strongly recommend Padraigh, Leona and team.”
Placelift Property Renovation Specialists
Builders in Carlow, Co. Carlow
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 May 2018
“I don’t think I could have coped with the jobs involved in the house I bought without the expert advice of Clodagh and her team in Placelift. They were fantastic. What I saw as a problem, they saw as ‘not a bother’. Clodagh is the coordinator and has an incredible back up team of the nicest gentlemen you could meet: Ivan, Rob, Arthur, Vincent and Wayne. Clodagh sourced lights, paint colours , appliances, a kitchen, decking etc., and then her team arrived and put them in place! Painters, plumbers, electricians, builders and handymen, all in the one outfit. A dream machine for anyone contemplating a house renovation. And as a plus, all so pleasant, friendly and competent. A big thank you to Placelift ! I would highly recommend this company.”

There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Carlow:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.
