Commercial work

Full car parks,
tight access.

Much of the commercial work in Dublin is on shared residential ground: apartment car parks, estate roads and paths run by a management company. These sites are rarely empty, access is tight and every space is in use, so the work is planned around residents from the first visit.

Managing agents

Working with the agent

Dublin apartment car parks and estates are usually run by a managing agent for the owners' management company.

  • Site visit arranged with the agent, with a director if the board wants one.
  • An itemised quote ready for the board meeting.
  • A phasing plan and a draft notice for residents.

Access

Basement ramps and tight entrances

Many Dublin car parks have one way in, a ramp, or bays right up to the building. The order of work is set around that.

  • The entrance laid at the quietest time, often first thing.
  • Ramps and thresholds kept to their levels by planing, not overlaying.
  • Covers, gullies and door thresholds checked before the surface goes down.

Common Questions

Common questions.

Which parts of the county do you cover?+

The whole county, from the base in Newbridge.

Can residents keep parking during the works?+

In most car parks, yes. Only one section closes at a time and the plan says which spaces close on which day.

Do you also do driveways?+

Yes. Driveway repair and new driveways are part of the residential service.
