The practice offers a wide ranging set of services to a variety of clients including homeowners, prospective homeowners, solicitors, estate agents, management companies, builders and other construction professionals among others.
We understand how buildings work, and why they sometimes don’t. We have a flair for designing new buildings and a keen eye for identifying defects and problems within existing buildings. Therefore, we combine these skills to offer a professional service that guarantees the client quality results and peace of mind.
Diarmuid Keane + Associates are committed to a sustainable architecture that meets both the current and future needs of clients and the environment as a whole. We handle all types of construction projects from building design to planning, tendering and supervision. We can offer a professional service that not all consultants can offer in that we can stay involved with the project from inception right through to completion and beyond. We take the hassle and headaches out of the construction process for our clients by successfully managing projects from start to finish.
We can tailor our services as required to suit the clients needs and requirements. We offer a wide range of services from simply offering advice on projects to managing the projects. Clients can choose the level of involvement they wish us to have on their project.
