Project Focus: Bunratty Road, Dublin

The DCC ( Dublin City Council ) Bundle is a rapid-build social housing programme across four Dublin sites: Bunratty Road (78 units), Bonham Street (57 units), Springvale (71 units) and Cork Street (55 units).

The first phase of Bunratty Road (pictured below),?was accepted last week, with keys handed over and residents beginning to move in.

In terms of Net Zero and MMC, the projects used Vision-Built ’s light-gauge steel 2D panelised system which carries many sustainability benefits. The units themselves are all designed and built to Near Zero Emissions Building (NZEB) standards and have been audited and certified by the Irish Green Building Council .

The first of these four social housing projects to come on stream, Bunratty Road, comprises 64 one and two-bed apartments, along with 14 three-bed houses with gardens. As you can see from the photos, the team has done a fine job creating places for future generations. Dual-aspect units with own-door access, and exceptional brickwork detailing and finishes, provide an extremely high quality living environment.

Each of the four schemes has been designed throughout for low maintenance and enhanced life-cycle costings. Not only that but they have exceeded the requirements of their original brief in terms of U-values, energy use and airtightness through selection and investment in high quality products and installation.

Congrats to the Sisk team, supply chain partners and our client, Dublin City Council on reaching this milestone.
