Understand what is there
Share photographs, existing drawings, planning history and any surveys already available. A project review can help identify where further investigation or a specialist assessment may be useful.

Renovations, vacant properties and change of use
An existing building brings its own history, constraints and possibilities. Des helps owners and project teams consider the practical technical questions behind renovation and a proposed change of use.
Plan the changes together
Layout alterations, extensions and fabric improvements need coordination with the existing structure and services. Drawings and details can help resolve how the proposed work meets what will remain.
Check the route before committing
Planning, building control and specialist advice should be considered for the particular proposal. For homeowners exploring energy grants or vacant and derelict property supports, HomeUpgrade.ie provides related information; eligibility and approvals are assessed separately.
