Rock Construction and its principals, Gary & Brian, are skilled builders that obviously take pride in their work and treat their customers fairly. They delivered a major refurbishment to a very high standard within budget and on time. We were very happy we chose them.

The entire team at Rock, at all times, displayed complete professionalism and integrity. The quality of their work was next to none; they completed on time, to budget and throughout the six months were a pleasure to deal with. Without hesitation we recommend Rock to our friends and family.

I am a registered architect, in private practice for over 15 years, specialising in domestic renovation and extension projects. Over the past 5 years, Rock Construction have carried out a number of domestic renovation and extension projects for me, big and small, and I found them extremely easy to deal with, honest and have a good work ethic. Their work, along with the work of their sub-contractors, is of a high standard, with projects completed on time and with any snags, post completion, dealt with and resolved without fuss. I have no reservations in recommending Rock Construction for any projects in the future for my clients or others.

Rock Construction worked with Zion Parish last year on the major re-furbishment of The Rectory. The project involved stripping out and rennovating a period red brick house from top to bottom. At every stage of the work it was explained to us how things were progressing. The foreman and crew were polite and pleasant to deal with, remaining courteous despite numerous requests for information – the deliights of working with a Committee! Like all major works there were a number of unforseen obstacles to oversome. In general the time scale was reasonable and where delays were caused it was due to suppliers and not the construction crew. We are delighted with the result and have no hesitation in recommending Rock Construction to you’

To Mr. Gary O’Donoghue and team many thanks.
It is with pleasure that we are providing a reference for Rock Construction and their team. In 2005/6 we embarked on a total refurbishment and extension of our house. It was a 9 month project and we can honestly say we were blessed with a good Contruction firm and a good Architect. We have heard so many challenging stories of either builder or architect or both ! In our case all rowed in the same direction to bring the project to fruition to our expectations. Rock were professional and practical all the way. Contributing good ideas as the project progressed yet helping us take care of our modest silver. Pockets of tension are inevitable with such projects. In our case they were rare and fairness ruled. Any issues subsequent to completion have always been attended to promptly and effectively. It is a credit to Rock Construction that 5 years later we continue to be respected as a valued client.
We love our home, thank you Gary.

This is to confirm that it became necessary for my wife Ruth and our family to move out of our house in Prince of Wales Terrace, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 in order that a major work of reconstruction could be carried out on our property. This included a small extension at the rear of the property also all wiring and plumbing in the house to be replaced when reconstructed. The main contractor appointed by our Architect, Nuada MacEoin was Rock Construction Limited, Goatstown, Dublin and the main person on site being Brian O’Donoghue of that firm.
The main works carried out by Messrs Rock Construction Limited have been completed after ten months and I have been requested to give a letter of commendation to Messrs Rock Construction Limited in relation to the project which I am happy to do.
The work consisted of digging down underneath the house to enable piling and grouting to take place, this included the pouring of a considerable amount of concrete whichin turn was disrupted by the snow of late 2010 and early 2011. Notwithstanding the disruption caused by the elements Messrs Rock Construction didn’t allow this to hinder the eventual timescale which was adhered to and I have to say in retrospect that my wife and I are pleased with the quality and final finish of the work and are of the view that they are a company that could be recommended for any job of that nature.
I would be happy to confirm this by phone if requested.
Yours sincerely
Brendan Walsh

We hired Gary for a renovation/extension project. We found both him and his team very easy to work with. They were always on site when they said they would be. They gave a competitive quote and kept very much to budget. They completed the project on schedule.
We were happy with their work and got them back at a later stage to put in a dormer window.

Rock Construction did a major extension and upgrade to our home in 2008. We very much appreciated the support that we got from Gary and his team at every level during the job and afterwards. The work was to a good standard and we found them a good partner to work with for this big task, supportive, reactive and accommodating. They are professional in their dealings and also had a good focus on security during the build.

Rock Construction have done a great job and we were impressed with the level of professionalism and speed of work. The renovations were completed on time and on budget, and any wrinkles were ironed out quickly through the good communication that Gary and his crew keep up from first to last.
Rock took care of all aspects of building work, having a large and comprehensive, fully-qualified team of professionals who are as skilled as they are friendly and approachable, meaning that we were only dealing with one quote, one “boss”, and one timescale; it took a lot of the stress out of having major works done.
Our new house will be our family home for many years to come, and we are very happy with it. We’d recommend Rock to anyone looking for a hassle-free contractor who’ll make good on their promises.

Gary O’Donoghue and Rock Construction completed the refurbishment of my home in 2004 and I am delighted to recommend him for any building work. I had moved to Dublin, bought my first home which needed work and didn’t know any builders, Gary was highly recommended.
From start to finish I was afforded a very professional service by Gary & Rock Construction. Gary was always accommodating and flexible in meeting with me to discuss the refurbishment of my home. I felt he was genuinely interested and wanted to work with me to achieve my aims. He listened carefully to what I wanted, advising me of the design and cost issues and managed to marry this with the benefit of his knowledge and expertise to my satisfaction and yet achievable within my tight budget.
The standard of workmanship was excellent. The refurbishment began on time and was completed on time. Gary’s employees were at all times courteous, respectful and helpful. Although the work has been completed a few years at this stage Gary is always available to discuss, offer advice, and carry out any work required.
In conclusion I find Gary to be trustworthy, hardworking and professional and I would have no hesitation in recommending him, he is my builder of choice.
