Our Construction Process
Our process begins with a meticulous feasibility study to ensure your Newry site is viable for multi-occupancy use. Following this, our architects create bespoke designs that align with the Newry, Mourne and Down Local Development Plan. We handle all statutory submissions, including Planning Permission and Building Control approvals. Once on-site, our project managers implement a phased construction schedule, prioritising health and safety and structural precision. We utilize advanced project management software to provide you with real-time updates on milestones and budgets. The process concludes with a rigorous snagging period and the issuance of all necessary certificates, ensuring your apartment block is ready for immediate occupancy or sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of apartment construction in Newry?
Costs vary based on site topography and specification, but apartment developments in Newry typically range from £1,800 to £2,600 per square metre. Factors such as the inclusion of underground parking, lift access, and high-efficiency heat pump systems will influence the final budget. We provide detailed cost projections during our initial feasibility study.
How long does it take to build an apartment block?
A standard 6–10 unit block usually takes between 12 and 18 months from breaking ground to final handover. This timeline includes structural completion, internal fit-out, and the discharge of planning conditions. Larger regeneration projects near the canal or city centre may require additional time for complex groundwork or archaeology.
Do I need planning permission for apartments in Newry?
Yes. Newry, Mourne and Down District Council requires full planning permission for multi-unit dwellings. We manage the entire application process, including statutory consultations regarding traffic impact and drainage. Whether you are converting a commercial building or starting a new build, we ensure your design meets Northern Ireland's regional planning policies.
Do you handle both residential and commercial apartment projects?
Absolutely. While we excel in luxury residential blocks and social housing developments, we also specialise in mixed-use schemes. These often involve ground-floor retail or office space with residential units above, which are increasingly popular in Newry’s central business district and along Hill Street.
How do I book a consultation for a Newry development?
Booking a consultation is straightforward. You can contact our team via our website or by phone to arrange an on-site visit or a meeting at our regional hub. We will review your site plans, discuss your commercial objectives, and provide a clear roadmap for your Newry development.
