Custom New Build Homes Across Dublin

Building a new home from the ground up is the most significant construction project a family will ever undertake. At Dublin Builders, we have been delivering new build homes across Dublin for over 30 years, managing every stage of the build from site preparation and structural works through to plastering, tiling, and final fit-out.

Whether you have a site ready and architectural drawings in hand, or you are at the very start of the process and need guidance on planning, we are experienced in managing the full journey. Our team works closely with architects, structural engineers, and local authorities to ensure your project runs on time, within budget, and to the highest standard of finish.

We build across Dublin City, Fingal, South Dublin, and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, with deep knowledge of local planning requirements, ground conditions, and building regulations in each area.

How We Work

Our New Build Process

Initial Consultation

We discuss your site, your vision, and your budget in detail. If you have drawings, we review them. If not, we can recommend trusted architects and engineers to get the project moving.

Planning & Design

We work alongside your design team to ensure the build is planned for practical construction, flagging any issues early. Once planning is approved, we prepare a full fixed-price tender.

Construction

From groundworks and foundations through to structural frame, roof, windows, and internal fit-out, your dedicated project manager oversees every stage and keeps you informed throughout.

Handover

We carry out a full snagging inspection before handover, ensuring every detail meets the standard you expect. All works are BCAR compliant and certificates of compliance are provided.

New Build Costs in Dublin

The cost of building a new home in Dublin varies significantly depending on size, specification, and site conditions. As a general guide, construction costs typically range from €2,000 to €2,800 per square metre for a standard residential new build, with high-specification finishes or complex sites pushing costs higher. These figures cover construction only and do not include architect fees, planning costs, site purchase, or fit-out items such as kitchens and bathrooms. We provide detailed fixed-price tenders before any work begins, so you have full cost certainty from day one.

New Build Planning Permission in Dublin

All new dwellings in Dublin require full planning permission from the relevant local authority, whether that is Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council, or Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. The process typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from the date of application, though timelines vary. Our team works closely with your architect to ensure the build is designed for practical construction from the outset, reducing the risk of costly design changes once work begins. All completed new builds are certified under BCAR (Building Control Amendment Regulations) and a Certificate of Compliance is issued on handover.

New Builds Dublin — Frequently Asked Questions

A typical single dwelling new build in Dublin takes between 12 and 18 months from breaking ground to handover, depending on size and specification. This does not include the time required for planning permission, which typically adds a further 3 to 6 months to the overall programme.

Yes. All new builds in Ireland require architectural drawings for planning permission and building regulations compliance. Under BCAR, you will also need an assigned certifier — typically an architect or engineer — to oversee the build and sign off on completion. We can recommend experienced professionals if you do not already have a design team in place.

All new builds in Ireland must meet a minimum BER A2 rating under current Part L building regulations. In practice, most of the homes we build achieve an A2 or A1 rating. A high BER rating significantly improves the value of your home and reduces your energy bills, and may also qualify you for preferential "Green Mortgage" rates from Irish lenders.

Yes. We have extensive experience working on challenging Dublin sites, including infill plots, sloped sites, and sites with restricted access. We always recommend a ground investigation report before finalising foundation design, and we work closely with structural engineers to find cost-effective solutions for difficult ground conditions.

Yes. Once we have a full set of drawings and specifications, we provide a detailed fixed-price tender covering all construction works. This gives you cost certainty before work begins. Any variations requested during the build are priced and agreed in writing before being carried out.
