The Salthill-based company’s commitment to a sustainable environment was demonstrated through its’ proactive environmental policy, leading the way in delivering buildings to benchmark standards.
These standards include such as BREEAM and LEED on prestigious projects such as OPW decentralised Property Registration Authority Offices in Roscommon, the first design and build public building in Ireland to be classified excellent under BREEAM sustainability standards.
