There are a number of reasons that homeowners extend or renovate their homes. The main reason for undertaking this project is often because a high-quality home extension can create great light and space in a house, making it ideal for growing families who need more room. Alongside this, a home extension is significantly cheaper than relocating to a new home. One of the hidden benefits of constructing an extension is that if you are thinking of selling your home in the future, a well-built home extension can add huge value to the selling price of your property. While the prospect of constructing a total home renovation and extension can be exciting, it is quite a large project that can come with plenty of stress, and planning is vital. Here at O’Brien Facilities, we construct all types of home extension for customers, offering expert advice and planning services to make your dream home extension a reality.

When planning a large-scale construction, landscaping, or maintenance project in your home or office building, it can be difficult to know where to start. Beginning a large-scale construction project isn’t as easy as hiring an outsourced construction team and giving them ideas, unfortunately; it usually involves plenty of planning, mapping, negotiating, budgeting, and more. Luckily, facilities maintenance companies can take the stress out of planning your next construction project by looking after all of the intricacies and ensuring a smooth, stress-free process.

If you’re thinking of beginning a construction project and want to hire a team of professionals to help, it’s important that you opt for people who are experienced, qualified, and professional. The construction industry in Ireland is growing year on year, but this, unfortunately, comes with some downsides too- namely; cowboy builders. “Cowboy builders” are unqualified and inexperienced workers who act as construction professionals and usually use low-quality materials and unregulated work techniques to carry out jobs across the country. People usually hire these illegal workers due to an offering of cheap labor and materials. By opting for a “cowboy builder” to help with your construction work, you could be putting your entire construction project in jeopardy and risking serious health and safety breaches further down the line. Instead of wasting time and money on these unprofessionals, why not opt for a professional Limerick construction management company?

When it comes to construction, planning a large product can be a stressful task to undertake alone. Whether you’re a homeowner wanting to renovate or a business owner with a big idea for broadening your company, trying to plan the intricacies of materials sourcing, labour sourcing, and planning documents can be off-putting and time-consuming. It’s for these reasons that outsourcing your construction management can be an attractive concept. Here at O’Brien Facilities, we specialise in Limerick construction management for all types of customers, aiming to make your latest construction project run as smoothly and stress-free as possible.
