Our involvement included site survey, architectural & structural design and submission of planning application.

EXTENSION TO PRIVATE DWELLING, ARKLOW, WICKLOW, IRELAND
The project consisted of the construction of a 37m² (400ft²) extension to provide an additional bedroom and additional space.

This required the removal of large proportions of the external structural walls which in turn had to be supported by transfer beams.

Our involvement included site survey, architectural & structural design and submission of planning application.
