Renovation as Investment and Quality of Life

A full-scale home renovation in Ireland is far more than an aesthetic upgrade. In a country where a significant portion of the housing stock is 50–100 years old, modernization is essential for sustainability, energy efficiency, and comfort. At MGA Construct, our approach is to preserve the unique character of the property while integrating 21st-century technology and open-plan living.

Technical Depths: What Makes a Renovation Last?

Professional renovation begins behind the walls. Our first step is always a Structural Integrity Assessment. This includes damp testing, moisture mapping, and a thorough inspection of load-bearing structures.

Mechanical & Electrical Modernization (Re-wiring & Re-plumbing): We replace outdated, often hazardous electrical systems according to the latest RECI standards. For plumbing, we transition to multi-layer piping systems and Smart Heating Controls, allowing clients to save up to 30% on utility bills.
Advanced Insulation Strategy: Due to Ireland’s humid climate, Internal Wall Insulation (Dry Lining) is critical. We don't just fix boards to walls; we implement comprehensive Airtightness strategies to eliminate thermal bridging and prevent interstitial condensation/mold.
Flooring and Sub-base Engineering: Underfloor Heating (UFH) is now a baseline requirement for premium renovations. We utilize liquid screed pouring for perfect thermal conductivity and a laser-leveled finish.

Why Choose MGA Construct for Your Renovation?

We are not just a collection of subcontractors. Every project is assigned a dedicated Project Manager who maintains daily communication with the client. In the spirit of transparency, we provide photographic documentation of every work phase, accessible via a shared cloud folder at any time.

House Extensions & Structural Works

Liberating Space: Kitchen-Diner Extensions

In Ireland, the "Rear Extension" is the most popular method to add significant value to a property. MGA Construct specializes in transforming dark, cramped kitchens into expansive, light-filled communal hubs.

Planning and Regulation Mastery: Many homeowners are unaware that extensions up to 40 square meters are often exempt from planning permission, provided specific conditions regarding garden space are met. We guide you through the intricacies of the Planning and Development Regulations.
Natural Light Optimization: We prioritize bringing the outside in. Through the strategic use of roof lights (Velux), bespoke roof lanterns, and wall-to-wall glass portals (Bi-fold or sliding doors), we blur the lines between your garden and living space.
Structural Bravado (Steelwork/RSJ): When removing original rear walls to create an open-plan flow, statics become critical. MGA engineers calculate the exact specifications for RSJs (Rolled Steel Joists) to ensure the permanent structural health of the building.

Materials and Architectural Style

Whether you desire a modern, minimalist glass-and-concrete construction or a classic brick-match extension that mirrors the original house, MGA Construct sources the highest quality materials. Our bricklayers are masters of "Pointed Brickwork" and natural stone cladding.

Attic Conversions

Unlocking Hidden Square Footage

An attic conversion is the fastest and least disruptive way to add a guest bedroom or a home office. In the Dublin area, where land prices are at a premium, expanding upwards is the most logical financial decision.

Structural Reinforcement: Most Irish roof structures (W-truss roofs) are not designed to support floor loads. MGA Construct specialists install new steel and timber support beams to create a "floating floor" independent of the ceiling below, preventing cracks and noise transfer.
Fire Safety Compliance (Part B Building Regs): This is the most crucial, yet often neglected, aspect. For a legal, habitable attic conversion, fire-rated doors, smoke ventilation, and proper escape routes are mandatory. We guarantee that all work meets the requirements of insurers and local authorities.
Dormer vs. Velux: We help you choose between a discreet Velux solution or a Dormer window, which significantly increases head height and usable floor space.

Sustainability & Energy Efficiency (Deep Retrofit)

Building the Home of the Future, Today

Driven by Ireland’s Climate Action Plan, the Building Energy Rating (BER) has become a central factor in property value. MGA Construct doesn't just build; we optimize for a low-carbon future.

External Wall Insulation (EWI / Wrapping): If the internal space doesn't allow for dry lining, "wrapping" the house externally is the most effective thermal solution. It also provides a completely fresh, modern aesthetic to the building's exterior.
Airtightness & Ventilation: The best insulation is ineffective if the house is "leaking" heat. We use specialized membranes and tapes to seal windows and joints, often coupled with Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) to ensure air quality.
Heat Pumps & Renewables: We assist in transitioning from fossil fuel boilers to modern Air-to-Water Heat Pumps, which extract heat from the ambient air to provide consistent heating and hot water.

Client Experience & Project Management

Eliminating the Stress of Construction

Uncertainty, hidden costs, and shifting deadlines are the primary fears of homeowners. MGA Construct has built its business model to address these concerns directly:

Fixed-Price Quotations: No hidden surprises. If the scope of work doesn't change, the price doesn't change.
Strict Project Timelines: You receive weekly reports on progress made and the schedule for the following week.
Clean Site Policy: We believe a clean site is the hallmark of a professional firm. We perform daily clean-ups to ensure minimal disruption to your life and your neighbors.
