Surveys
Surveys
Surveys play an extremely crucial role in every construction project. They can take various forms, including land surveys, construction surveys, and as-built surveys, to offer reference points and detect any modifications made to the original plans during construction.
Due to their importance, it is essential to turn to a professional firm when conducting surveys. Fortunately, Project Design Building Consultants have a team with over 40 years of experience in construction design and management to provide you with the professional land surveying services you need in Clare, Galway, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, and surrounding counties.
Buying Property
Simply walking around a home should not be enough reason for you to commit to purchasing it. By surveying the building, you can know the exact condition of the property. The survey will help you detect property defects and faults, helping you get a clearer picture of what you are buying. After completing our survey, the condition report we provide you with will allow you to decide whether or not to buy the property confidently.
Party Walls
According to the Party Wall Act, both you and your neighbour must inform the other when renovating their respective properties. We could provide you with a party wall surveyor to offer you professional advice and resolve any concerns you might have regarding the party wall you share with your neighbour.
Home Improvements
Surveys are also helpful when you would like to certify that the construction and improvements made to your home comply with the law. Our professional team will ensure that no violations have been made. Once you know that the adjustments meet all the regulations, you can enjoy your home improvements with peace of mind.
Resolving Boundary Line Disputes
Land disputes are pretty common for all landowners and can quickly escalate into long, drawn-out legal battles. After all, no one wants what is legally theirs to be taken. Project Design Building Consultants can provide you with professional land surveyors who can offer expert advice on boundary lines. Their advice can prove crucial when paving driveways or building fences.

What Can Go Wrong When You Fail To Use a Professional for Your Construction Surveys?
One of the primary and most costly disasters that can happen on a construction job is starting the process only to discover an issue that halts the entire project. In some cases, you might even have to tear everything down and start the whole process from scratch. Not only is this a frustrating and time-consuming process, but also an expensive one.
We recommend turning to Project Design Building Consultants for professional construction surveys to help you detect potential issues early on. Our services can help you avoid future headaches and complete your construction project on time.
What Our Clients Say
J.J. Property Enterprises Limited have engaged Project Design Building Consultants in all of our projects during the past 10 years. One of our most recent involved renovation re-construction works to Carnelly House, Calarecastle Co. Clare. Carnelly, one of Clare’s most notable protected residences, is an eighteenth-century, brick built, three-storey, five bay, hip-roofed house over a basement with a central side and fanlit Venetian style doorway approached by four steps. It faces north-east down a straight driveway to the main gates. A slightly lower gable-ended, two-storey, three bay extension was later added to the west. A large yard and utility buildings adjoin the rear. The reception rooms are decorated with interesting pedimented mirrors, and at one end of the drawing room fluted columns embrace another mirror as though it was a “baroque” altarpiece. The ceiling are of fine stucco work. The windows, with their thin glazing bars, are surmounted by stone keystones, and the corners are dressed with block and start quoins.
The works required extensive knowledge and expertise to ensure that the renovation/re-construction works replaced and replicated the existing in compliance with Architectural Conservation requirements. From our experience during the past 10 years out company can highly recommend Project Design Building Consultants as experts in their field and most especially in the field of Architectural Conservation works which requires in-depth expertise not easily acquired.
We look forward to working with Project Design Building Consultants team on current and future projects and would fully recommend them to new prospective clients.
As Chairman of the Board of Directors of St Senan's Community Nursing Home Kilrush, the Board are delighted with the professional services provided by Project Design Building Consultants in progressing the upgrade and extension to our Community Nursing Home Facility.
Project Design Building Consultants progressed the project from inception to completion within time and budget constraints. This involved acquiring all statutory consents, compliance with Safety & Health Legislation, compliance with Health Information Quality Authority (HIQA) regulations, tendering, contract award and contract administration, site supervision cost control, progressing throughout the BCMS and final certifications.
The project budget was in excess of €1,600,00.00 and construction works had to be managed with the current facility in full operation. This involved liaison with the facility management, contractor, sub-contractors and other personnel throughout the construction process. We were delighted that the project was completed to programme and on budget and following our positive experience we can recommend Project Design Building Consultants as a very professional competent consultancy practice.
We engaged Project Design Building Consultants to advise and progress the required professional consultancy services for the reconstruction and extension of our dwelling house in Quin, Co.Clare. This involved the demolition of a section of the existing dwelling house and the provision of a new one and a half storey extension with the new sewage treatment system and associated works. This has transformed the existing bungalow which is 40 years old to what is now a contemporary building with all associated modern facilities, including extensive glazed walling and first floor balcony facing the southern aspect and availing of the extensive views.
Our initial concept was totally changed following briefings with Project Design Building Consultants who immediately saw the potential that was not apparent to us and we are very fortunate to have acquired their services.
Project Design Building Consultants managed the project from conception to completion including acquiring planning permission, managing in compliance with Building Control Management System, providing full services throughout the construction process including cost management and control working within our available budget and in compliance with mortgage requirement.

Patrick Bourke's Menswear have engaged the services of Project Design Consultants in the development of their menswear facilities at High Street Ennis, Co Clare.
Project Design Building Consultants were responsible for the consultancy services involved in the development of our new ultra-modern menswear store in Ennis. The project had a budget of €3,600,000.00 and the consultancy services were progressed from inception to completion by Project Design Building Consultants.
This was a particularly complex project in a very confined inner town site with limited access, further restrained as the building was a protected structure and the brief for the new facility required open planned spaces with modern facilities.
We are happy to confirm that Project Design Building Consultants exceeded our requested brief, whilst satisfying all requirements and restrictions associated with the restoration of the protected structure.
We have used the services of Project Design Building Consultants over the past 20 years in various projects the most recent being the full renovation/reconstruction of our Kilrush outlet with a budget cost of €1,350,000.00 and can confidently recommend their services to any client requiring a professional and competent consultancy service to progress their projects through all stages of the construction process
