Do I need planning permission for my renovation?
It depends on the scope. We can guide you through what requires planning or building control approval and recommend architects if needed. Many smaller projects fall under exempted development.

Case Study
A Cobh family wanted to transform their dated 1980s ground floor into an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. The brief included removing a load-bearing wall, new flooring throughout, a modern kitchen fit-out and complete re-wiring.
Our team coordinated structural engineers, electricians, plumbers, plasterers and kitchen fitters under one project plan. Steel beams were installed to open up the space, followed by underfloor heating, porcelain tiling, custom carpentry and a full repaint.
The project was completed in seven weeks with the family living upstairs throughout. The result is a bright, spacious living area that increased the home’s value and completely changed how the family uses their ground floor.
