Hollywood Developments — builders in Dundalk

Hollywood Developments serves Louth and the areas around it, as a service-area business that travels to the job rather than running a premises the public visits. The firm also names Meath, Dublin and Monaghan as places it works in. When you get in touch, mention your location and the type of project so the team can confirm it covers your site.

The price of building work in Louth depends mainly on the size and complexity of the job, so a small extension usually costs less to build than a larger scheme. Materials are usually charged separately from the labour, and access and site conditions can also change the cost. The Builder price guide gives typical prices in Ireland, so use it as a starting point and ask for an itemised quote.

For retrofit jobs in Ireland, the rules point you towards SEAI grant eligibility and a One Stop Shop that is registered where one covers your area. Ask the company which qualifications and experience its team holds for the job you have in mind, and ask to see certificates. You can also check experience by asking for details of similar projects it has completed.

Ask the company for a copy of its public liability insurance certificate and whether its crew carry employer's liability cover. It is usual for a building business in Ireland to carry public liability insurance, so requesting the certificate is a reasonable step. Also ask what guarantee covers the finished work and how defects would be put right.

Hollywood Developments has a Google rating of 4.6 from 5 reviews, and you can read them on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=16352652437302023852. With only a small number of reviews, look closely at the detail they give. You can also ask the company for references from recent clients.

Grants for retrofit work in Ireland are run through SEAI, and eligibility depends on the work and the property. If your project is a retrofit, check eligibility before work begins and ask the builder how it would fit with a grant application. New builds and general construction are not usually covered by these schemes, so ask whether your job qualifies.

You can ask for a quote by phone or through the company's website. When you get in touch, describe the job, the place it is, any photos or plans you have, and when you would like the work to start. You can also send a request through the company's Locufy page.
