 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SO THOROUGH!!!!!
Cannot say enough great things about Michael at Ceardean Architects. Michael submitted my planning objections for a development next door to me in Cork, he researched it thoroughly and did not miss a thing, so worth the money spent as you can tell the time that went into it after reading it. He went above and beyond, so nice dealing with professionals who give 200%. This firm certainly does that.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first moment I contacted Ceardean, they have been exemplary in their dealings with me. Nick has been excellent and thorough when explaining the various briefing designs and preliminary budgets. Nick listened to any concerns and questions I had throughout the project and responded to my emails promptly. Cathy was outstanding throughout the project providing detailed site inspection reports on a regular basis which included photos of any snags and work completed. Any issues were brought to my attention immediately.
The service has been outstanding throughout and communication was conducted in an efficient manner. Any questions or queries I had were addressed in a timely manner. I trusted them implicitly throughout the renovation process, from initial design to making sure that any snags were fixed promptly after completion – I couldn’t be happier with the results!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are extremely satisfied with the work done by the architect on my project. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the design. They listened carefully to our requirements and came up with innovative ideas which made the design process a smooth and efficient one.

Throughout the project, the architect kept us informed about the progress and was always available to answer any questions. They worked closely with the construction team to ensure that the design was implemented in the best possible way.

We were impressed with the quality of the drawings and the level of detail included in the plans. Overall, we would recommend  Ceardean Architects to anyone looking for a professional and reliable architect.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ceardean Architects managed an extension and extensive refurbishment to my home in 2020.  I was very happy with their work/service and found it to be excellent in all regards.  I would use their service again if the need arose and have no hesitation in recomending them.

Renovation and Extension Project finished in Dalkey, Co. Dublin, Spring 2024

Committing to Architect fees upfront can be a daunting thought. The fee is usually based upon the total cost of the project which may not even be known so early in the process.

We have found, through years of experience, that smart independent design advice early in the process can ensure key requirements are met, reduce the size of the build, and save money in the long run. This is why we created the Briefing Design process, a stand-alone design package to set clients on the right path from the beginning.
