Commercial projects
For more information about the Commercial building aspect of our services, see here. We have specialist skills in the design of office buildings, retail businesses such as pharmacys, stores, etc, industrial units for start-up companies like the Fab-Lab and Enterprise Centre in Cloughjordan. All our projects start from the principle of ‘fabric-first’, which means we design the structure to reduce energy costs and increase comfort. It is true that good buildings cost more, but we can demonstrate that the cost savings for companies who need to retain skilled staff, will dwarf the cost of a quality workplace. Comfort, brightness, spaciousness and aesthetics all contribute to a sense of well-being and being valued. We all produce better when we feel valued by our employers!
