Project Description
Contract Type: Public Works Contract for Building Works Designed by the Employer
This building construction project consisted of the demolition and removal of 30 Existing Houses; the New Build Construction of 40 residential dwelling units, the refurbishment of 21 existing units and all associated siteworks and services at Gilmartin Road, Tuam, Co. Galway. The site was located at Gilmartin Road, Tuam, Co. Galway and was an existing housing estate consisting of occupied and unoccupied houses.
Existing Building Activities: there were occupied residential buildings nearby within the estate, which were part of the refurbishment programme. The works were carried out within the existing development. The area is an urban residential area. Gilmartin Road runs through the centre of the development, dividing the development into two main development sites, with further individual house refurbishment sites dispersed throughout the Gilmartin Road estate. Work commenced in January 2018, on a phased housing development and the first phase was handed over to Galway County Council in December of 2018.
