Modern construction methods

Projects range in scale and value from minor refurbishments to large-scale high-tech projects, including a €70m 77,000 sq metre facility in Co Dublin, which, when completed, was the ninth-largest building in the world by volume.

Mannings delivered the first Passivhaus retail project in the world and the first non-domestic Passivhaus project in Ireland, adhering to the Passive House Institute’s exceptional standards for energy efficiency. The company subsequently adopted the principles of lean construction and completed projects to top BREEAM standards (equivalent to LEED Gold).

The techniques devised on these projects are now applied widely across the industry.

Invisible methodology

Mannings’ ability to implement “invisible methodology” on live projects and devise innovative solutions has led to high levels of repeat business and client retention. Mannings registered on the Considerate Constructor scheme during 2020 and promotes best practice in construction and health and safety.

Manning’s partnership approach

Colm Delamere, Managing Director; Mannings Construction Group, says that the contractor’s partnership approach to project delivery with its ability to innovate while delivering within budget and programme has been the basis of its success over the past 45 years.

“We have that old-fashioned value of taking pride in our work and how we deliver projects,” Colm Delamere explains. “Combining this with innovative construction technologies, we yield client satisfaction time after time. This is what drives everyone in the company.”
