Questions we hear every week.

Many rear extensions under 40m² are exempt, but conditions apply around height, garden space and previous extensions. We can confirm quickly whether your plans are exempt or need an application.

Councils normally decide within 8 weeks of a valid application. Allow extra time for design, site assessments and any further information requests. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the start.

A survey identifies structural issues, damp, roof problems and compliance gaps before you commit. It can save you thousands and gives you leverage when negotiating the price.

Under the Building Control Amendment Regulations (BCAR), new homes and certain extensions need an Assigned Certifier to inspect the works at key stages and sign the Certificate of Compliance on Completion.

Yes. We provide stage inspection certificates for mortgage drawdowns and compliance certificates for sale or remortgage.

If you're selling, transferring, dividing land or registering a folio, you'll usually need one. We survey the boundary with GPS and prepare maps to Tailte Éireann requirements.

We're based in Tuam and work across Galway, Mayo and Roscommon, with larger projects further afield.
