WORKING SMART

“We see huge potential in automating routine tasks and reducing administrative burdens, empowering our people to spend more time focusing on what they do best – applying their expertise where it adds the most value. This will help us move faster, make better decisions, and deliver higher-quality outcomes for our clients, all while continuing to uphold the quality standards that have come to define Ardmac or, as we call it, ‘the Ardmac Way’.”

Fergus Nugent, Operations Director

WORKING SMART

Revolutionising construction site management. At Ardmac, innovation drives excellence. In 2024, we embarked on a transformative journey to enhance our site openings management process. While our workflows were already grounded in robust BIM implementation, we recognised the potential to elevate efficiency and safety by integrating cutting-edge technology. After evaluating both Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), we identified AR as the optimal solution for on-site applications. Unlike VR, which posed safety challenges, AR offered a practical and secure alternative, allowing teams to utilise tablets in the field. To ensure seamless integration, we selected GAMMA AR, a leading augmented reality tool compatible with Autodesk Construction Cloud and Procore. A rigorous proof of concept verified its compatibility with our systems, and our Digital Innovation Committee (DIC) approved the deployment. The DIC, composed of senior leaders across departments, ensures all digital processes align with Ardmac’s high standards for quality and innovation.

By integrating AR with BIM, Ardmac has set a new standard for construction efficiency and precision. Real-time visualisation and data synchronisation eliminated inefficiencies, reduced errors, and aligned on-site execution with design specifications. This innovative system exemplifies our commitment to excellence, empowering teams with cutting-edge tools to deliver safer, more efficient, and higher-quality construction projects. Ardmac continues to lead the way in digital transformation, demonstrating how technology can revolutionise site management and redefine industry benchmarks.

“Our clients are building the future, and they trust us to deliver their vision. They value our dedication and commitment to ensuring that every project we deliver is of the highest quality.”

Enda Murphy, Chief Business Officer

Ethically and responsibly managing all aspects of our operations.

For us, sustainability is so much more than something we aspire towards—it’s embedded in our culture. We have now successfully integrated sustainability into our long-term strategy and our daily operations. We believe that the choices we make today will have a lasting impact. We also know that we’re not quite there yet and we have much more to do, but we are resolutely committed to fostering a cleaner, greener future for generations to come. Through our dedicated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) programme, Sky Blue, Ardmac is moving forward with purpose and responsibility, as we strive to create meaningful change in our industry.

Partnering with Dagard, we secured Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for cleanroom materials, setting a new industry benchmark. Achieving ISO 20400 certification in sustainable procurement reinforces our commitment. By prioritising ethical sourcing and encouraging suppliers to adopt EPDs, we drive positive change across the industry.

CASE STUDY Cairn Homes, Mespil Road

Client:

Cairn Homes plc

Location:

45 Mespil Road, Dublin

Project Size:

16,000 sqft 16 weeks

Duration:

Cairn Homes plc, one of Ireland’s leading residential developers, relocated their headquarters to the prestigious 45 Mespil Road, situated along Dublin’s Grand Canal. Following a competitive tender process, Ardmac was selected to partner with the Design Team to deliver a high-end CAT B fit out across the 5th and 6th (penthouse) floors, designed to reflect Cairn’s evolving brand and accommodate approximately 90 staff. The design maximised natural light and panoramic city views by positioning all workstations around the perimeter of each floor. Central core areas featured bespoke joinery to delineate spaces such as reception, lounge, quiet rooms, collaboration zones, and a canteen. Spread across both floors, the office includes a variety of flexible spaces—collaboration areas, phone booths, meeting pods, business lounges, and formal meeting rooms. On the 6th floor, a vibrant café space offers expansive views and access to a large outdoor terrace. Designed to be both social and functional, the café operates as a casual meeting hub outside peak hours. In contrast, the 5th-floor coffee lounge presents a more subdued, luxurious environment with rich finishes.

The adjoining boardroom boasts a custom fumed oak table, slatted joinery walls, and integrated AV, all set against a backdrop of stunning cityscape views. The fit out included all architectural finishes and MEP upgrades. Mechanical works covered new fan coil units, plumbing, and waste services for the canteen and coffee dock. Electrical works included lifting the raised access floor (RAF) to install new power and data, lighting, fire detection, AV, and security systems. Operating within a live building presented logistical challenges. With no basement access and tight site conditions, Ardmac implemented ‘Just in Time’ deliveries and maintained regular coordination with building management and other tenants to ensure the fast-track programme was delivered smoothly and efficiently. “It was imperative to have a team we could trust, access, and engage throughout the endeavor. To their credit, Ardmac did a phenomenal job of listening to what we were trying to achieve with this space. The end-to-end process was efficient in communication and decision making. Ardmac were crisp in their communication of when decisions were required and this was very much appreciated.’

CASE STUDY HSBC, Grand Canal Square

Client:

HSBC Bank plc

Location:

One Grand Canal Square, Dublin

Project Size:

20,000 sqft 18 weeks

Duration:

HSBC sought a delivery partner to support the consolidation of their workforce from two floors into one, due to the expiration of the lease on the second floor. Ardmac was appointed after Stage 1 of a two-stage tender process, selected for our proven track record with HSBC and the building, along with our transparent, “no surprises” approach. The project reconfigured the first floor to align with HSBC’s “future of work” principles, creating collaborative zones and private offices for focused work. The front- of-house area was redesigned to maximise flexibility and underused space. The atrium layout was updated to encourage all-day use, with new furniture supporting both meetings and dining. The catering kitchen was transformed into a self-service facility with improved food prep and microwave areas. Balcony pods were installed to promote informal meetings and greater use of the space. Back-office areas remained largely intact, but were adapted to meet current business needs. The hub room became the main comms room with minor changes, and all meeting rooms were retained but refurbished.

Works included strip-out, relocation of floor boxes, installation of new fan coil units, upgraded electrics, new ceilings—including a feature baffled system—fire safety enhancements, and BMS modifications. New kitchenette services were installed, with full testing and commissioning at project close. Delivered in a live, multi-tenant building also occupied by Citadel, Accenture, and Bank of Ireland, Ardmac ensured minimal disruption through daily coordination with building management. Despite pandemic-related challenges, the fast-tracked programme was delivered on time, with financial risks proactively managed in collaboration with HSBC’s Cost Management Team. “When HSBC tendered this project, they had always stated that they were looking for a partner to deliver. Ardmac lived up to this expectation and became a critical partner to us on the fit-out works. The team we had were dedicated, professional, always responsive, hardworking, and most importantly, they applied the highest standards in communication at all times.’

CASE STUDY Montrose Aparto

Client:

Hines (UK)

Location:

Stillorgan Road, Dublin

Project Size:

78,000 sqft 18 months

Duration:

Montrose Aparto, originally constructed in the 1960s as a hotel and later converted into student accommodation in 2014, recently underwent a major transformation to meet modern safety and living standards. Following a two- stage tender process, Ardmac was appointed to deliver complex structural and fire remediation works alongside a full refurbishment of the five-storey student residence. The upgraded development now provides 206 stylish apartments and 28 communal kitchens, along with new reception, study, and laundry areas, creating a vibrant and functional living environment for students. The project involved the full strip-out of all internal finishes, including the removal of plasterboard ceilings, sections of walls, and stud partitions. Ardmac constructed new stud partition walls and installed fire-rated ceilings, while carrying out extensive fire protection measures. These included the encasement of structural beams and columns, installation of fire dampers, intumescent pillows and putty pads in trunking, and comprehensive firestopping works. Adjustments were also made to the existing fire detection and emergency lighting systems to ensure full compliance with modern fire safety standards.

Each of the five floors was fully refitted with new fixtures, finishes, and furnishings. Mechanical and electrical services were upgraded to accommodate the redesigned layouts and enhanced fire protection systems. Works were carried out above live retail units including Bank of Ireland, Spar, Insomnia, and Subway. To minimise disruption and ensure safety, Ardmac implemented a Health & Safety Plan and maintained clear communication with tenants. Site activities, deliveries, and waste removal were coordinated through programme meetings, Last Planner sessions, and daily briefings. “Big congratulations and huge thanks for the almighty effort that you, the team and all supporting staff and trades have contributed over the last 18months. This has been a project like no-other and without your dedication and experience we simply would not be in a position to welcome students this coming academic year. Through each setback, the collaborative nature has enabled us to adapt and remain nimble and I would say sets the benchmark for projects going forward.’

Confidential Client

Location:

Clonee, Meath

Project Size:

90,000 sqft

Duration:

24 months (phased)

Ardmac was awarded the contract, following a competitive tender process, to deliver the high- specification fit-out of approximately 90,000 sq ft of administrative hubs connecting Data Halls 3, 5, and 6, delivered over two phases. The development included a variety of functional spaces such as open-plan offices, conference and meeting rooms, multi-purpose and games rooms, wellness areas, kitchen and breakout zones, and a landscaped external courtyard. Designed to support essential data centre operations, the project also focused on enhancing user experience and promoting environmental efficiency. Ardmac’s scope included installing fire-rated and acoustic Gyproc partitions, suspended ceilings, glazed systems, structural goalposts for service penetrations, and extensive finishes such as resin flooring, tiling, painting, blinds, and bespoke joinery. Wall/floor protection systems and sanitaryware were also integrated in line with client specifications. The M&E package featured a smart Building Management System (BMS) to optimise energy use and user comfort throughout. Ardmac also coordinated and delivered IT, AV, and security infrastructure, ensuring seamless integration with the architectural and MEP frameworks.

A significant aspect of the project was the implementation of BIM Level 2. Ardmac collaborated closely with the Client and Mace to develop a fully coordinated model. All site management personnel and supply chain partners were equipped with tablets to access and interact with the BIM model in real time. Digital tools such as BIM 360 Plan and BIM 360 Field were used to drive construction planning, monitor progress, manage defects, and capture live reporting data. Working within a live and complex data centre environment, Ardmac led weekly coordination meetings to maintain communication and synchronisation with all stakeholders, ensuring timely and successful project delivery. “We would like to thank you for the exemplary partnership that Ardmac brought to our project. The exceptional standards of quality delivered, and safety record achieved, is a testament to the Ardmac ethos which was driven by an extremely diligent, knowledgeable, and benevolent site management team which remained consistent right from the outset of the project to its very completion.’
