Housing Developments

Stonework for housing developments across Cork

We work for main contractors and developers on new housing estates, doing the full stone package house by house: stone fronts and gable features, window and door reveals, entrance walls and pillars, and the boundary walls around the estate. Every house type gets the same detail and the same stone, and we keep pace with the build programme.

Scope

What we do on a housing scheme

STONE FACADES & GABLE FEATURES

Full-height and part-height stone facing to house types, built to the architect's elevations and repeated accurately across the scheme.

REVEALS & QUOINS

Window and door reveals, returns and corner detail cut and set so every unit reads the same.

ENTRANCE FEATURES

Estate entrance walls, pillars and name stones.

BOUNDARY & ROADSIDE WALLS

Stone-faced boundary walls along the estate frontage, with capping and tie-ins to existing walls.

STONE SELECTION & MATCHING

We advise on stone selection and matching, from Liscannor to local limestone, and agree sample panels before we start.

WORKING TO PROGRAMME

We work house by house to the main contractor's programme, with our own masons and supervision. If the job needs more hands, we bring in extra crews.

Working with us

We're an Irish registered company (CRO 820510), VAT registered, and we work within the RCT system both as a subcontractor to main contractors and as a principal for RCT purposes in respect of our own subcontractors. Schemes finished before we incorporated in July 2026 were done by the same director and crew, trading as a sole trader. We hold €6.5m public liability and €13m employers' liability cover with Accelerant Insurance Europe SA. Every operative on site has Safe Pass and Manual Handling certification, we have a current company Safety Statement, and task-specific RAMS are issued for each project before we start.

We price from drawings and elevations, agree a sample panel before starting, and work to the main contractor's programme. References available on request. Prequalification documentation, insurance certificates and tax clearance can be issued for tender submissions.
