Restoration and Construction of Extension to St. Patrick’s Church, Donaghmore

In 2015, QMAC Construction managed the c. £1.3m restoration of the 1840s-built Grade B Listed Church. The project included the demolition and disposal of single-storey extensions to the rear to allow for the rebuilding of a new larger extension to provide a new Sacristy, Plant Room, Utility Room, Bathroom and Committee Room.

The work included:

• Extensive stonework restoration to reverse unsympathetic additions.
• Significant structural work to the roof and ground floor.
• Refurbishment and re-alignment of the roof.
• Re-plastering internally.
• Retention and refurbishment of sash/stained glass windows and doors.
• Complete internal refurbishment.
• Installation of new M&E services.
• Construction of a new extension to match the existing building structure.
• Removal, restoration and reinstatement of external metalwork railings and gates.

Completion:

• The project was successfully handed over on time and within budget.
• The client commented on completion, “Credit for the success of the project must go to QMAC Construction and their team. I would have absolutely no hesitation in using them again, and I would be pleased to recommend them, wholeheartedly”.
• Such was the exemplar quality, it won the CEF Construction Excellence Award 2016 in the Restoration category and won the UK-wide award for ‘The Best Use of Tiles in a Commercial Contract’ in 2016.
