Project description
The project enhances the neighbourhood’s character by incorporating public open spaces, landscaped zones, and a dedicated playground, creating an inviting and inclusive environment for residents of all ages. These shared amenities support wellbeing, encourage social interaction, and help establish a strong and connected community identity.
Built using Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), including timber frame systems, the scheme ensures programme efficiency, consistency, and high-quality delivery. All works are carried out in accordance with Irish Building Regulations (BCaR), HPI certification requirements, and Universal Design Guidelines, ensuring each home meets the highest standards of safety, accessibility, and long-term performance.
The Ballymakenny Road development integrates a range of Green Design Initiatives to achieve A2 Building Energy Ratings (BER) and full compliance with nZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) standards. These measures ensure long-term energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability, supporting both residents and Ireland’s broader environmental goals.
