As lead design and build contractor on the project, Western’s stunning design for the houses and huge capacity, boosted by the recent construction of a 2500m2 factory at their Mountjoy Road site gave them the edge over their rivals.
Western Building Systems are construction specialists, carrying out projects in the education, health and commercial sectors.
Among the contracts the firm are currently undertaking are a €16 million education campus in Ashbourne, Co. Meath and a £3 million Teaching Centre at the University of Essex.
