These move-in ready homes were built for Clúid Housing, an independent, not-for-profit charity rental organization.

Commenced in 2020, the development consisted of 85 one, two and three-bedroom apartments spread over two blocks.

The new development which is located on Quay Street in Dundalk Town Center was warmly welcomed by the people of Dundalk as the property was an ill-fated derelict site for a number of years and now this new building has put a new lease of life into the surrounding area.

The scheme was completed in Q4 2021.

The units were a mix of 2 and 3 storey homes as well as 15 apartments across 4 floors. The units were built on strip foundations with rising block walls and plaster finish through out. To assist with the speed of construction the site used Posi joists and roof trusses.

All homes were built to an A2 rating and met the latest design standards for landscaping and amenities. ensure

Working across several Covid shut downs and price increases, BHA managed to successfully deliver the project on time and budget.

External walls were constructed using block and brickwork with cavity walls and full-fill bonded bead insulation. Double-glazed PVC windows and doors were installed, and all blockwork walls received a nap plaster finish and paint. Posi Joists were used for joisting, and timber roof trusses, lath & felt, and concrete roof tiles were utilized for roof works. Mechanical aspects included air-to-water heat pumps with radiators, achieving an A2 rating, along with specified sanitary fittings.

Electrical work was fully completed, and carpentry & joinery featured flush timber doors, skirting, stairs, and fitted kitchens. Internal finishes involved plasterboard walls with skim finish and paint, and wall & floor tiling were done in designated areas. External works covered concrete paths, gardens, fencing, and drainage, while development works included in-situ concrete footpaths, line marking, and site services. Landscaping included topsoil, seeding, and planting of shrubs and trees.

The project achieved a BER rating of A2.

The 9-unit scheme not only met but surpassed green and environmental targets, achieving compliance with NZEB standards.
