1970's Semi-Detatched House Renovation

Our latest project was very interesting because it allowed us to completely modernise a typical 1970's Dublin Semi-Detatched house - upgrading the interior and providing a spacious extension to the rear of the property.
The Planning Permission had already been obtained but our clients wanted the freedom to tweak their design, while staying within the overall terms of the permission.

Here are the "Before" and "After" shots of the rear of the house:



The redesign of the house interior was even more spectacular. We re-shaped and opened up the kitchen area into an open-plan, bright and airy living space:

More "Before" Shots:



And a shot of the finished kitchen area:


And the final exterior shots of the house extension, again, to the rear of the property:


We hope you find this relevant to your own House Extension project. Why not contact us at Shomera to chat about your House Extension ideas? We'd be delighted to talk to you!

Thermal Performance In Buildings

We've just completed this month's blog entry - on Thermal Performance in Buildings.
Most people don't consider this important factor of any building or house extension project, and automatically assume that modern building materials can give a large measure of protection from the elements.
Our finding is that it's both important to choose the building materials wisely, and also to make sure you are constructing with the highest possible Thermal Performance in mind.

Please view the rest of our blog post on Thermal Performance In Buildings on our main website.

Star of the Sea, Boy’s National School, Sandymount, Dublin 4.

Hi, we wanted to share with you our latest project. The Star Of The Sea, Boy's National School.

The full story is over on our website: Shomera School Renovation And Extension!



The Project took less than 4 months to complete, and we are very excited about it. We conquered many things in on a tricky site, with existing multi-level buildings, and a re-design of the entire drainage system.

Make The Most Of Your Patio

Have you ever sat staring outside on a rainy day - looking at your patio and thinking how nice it would be to use it? How about if your patio is really nice, yet it's overshadowed by other buildings or trees, and doesn't really get much sunshine. How can you fix this?


The key is to reclaim the lost space occupied by your under-used patio, and to create a vibrant living space that can be used by all your family. Plus - you can also add considerable value to your home!


You can read more about this successful house extension on our website. Enjoy!

Hi. Just wanted to let you know that Shomera is the number 1 house extension company in ireland!

We have completed over 1300 projects in twelve years. Please visit our site at http://www.shomera.ie to view our extensive portfolio of work.



ABOUT SHOMERA

Shomera, spelled phonetically to include "home" in the name, was founded in 1998. Since that time we have been providing additional living space for more than 1300 customers as studios, house extensions, commercial and community buildings. Specialising in factory built architecture we design, manufacture and install quality buildings using off-site construction methods.

Since 1998, Shomera have been setting the gold standard for additional living space extensions and studios. We have viewed thousands of properties and we have manufactured, delivered and constructed buildings all over Ireland and the UK. Our friendly and professional staff are fully qualified and have decades of experience in the construction and manufacturing industries. We are constantly researching ways to improve our products and the ways we construct them to maximise quality and efficiency.


We construct our pre-fabricated material in a 14,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Dunshaughlin, Co Meath. This is where all our home extensions and commercial buildings are designed and manufactured. We have delivered our exquisite dwellings and installed them all over Ireland and the UK.
Our project-management skills have been honed to a very high level over the past thirteen years. We will bring all our expertise to bear on your project to ensure cost effectiveness and quality in a timely fashion.
Our experienced staff will take care of the creation of your Shomera right the way through, from idea to finish. You will fully updated and kept fully aware of our progress at all times and are in full control via a schedule of works that details the key milestones in your project. We say this with pride: Your experience with us will be unlike any other building project you have experienced.

FREE SITE SURVEY
We offer a free site survey for a project if you wish to discuss your options with one of our engineers. We will meet you to go through your plans and are here to help in the crucial planning stage of your project.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICE
Shomera work with a number of architectural practices on many varied projects. Our most trusted panel of architects can be used for design consultation with our in-house team for extension projects on behalf of clients. This helps to control the costs of obtaining an expert architectural design input at a much more affordable price. Again, this is simply not something you will get from other construction companies.
Shomera will recommend the architect based on the intimate requirements and style of the project. Then, we will work with the architect to agree an optimum design solution in the most efficient manner possible.

REPUTATION
We work in an industry that doesn’t have a reputation for reliability and customer satisfaction. At Shomera, we have worked hard to deliver an excellent product and service. We strive to deliver on time, within budget and exceed our customers' expectations.

DO YOU HAVE A PROJECT ALREADY DESIGNED AND DRAWN?
If you already have the extension design completed and drawn up, we welcome the opportunity to cost the project using the Shomera-Built system. Please contact us to discuss this further.
