Building or renovating in South Dublin is full of potential, but it also comes with its own set of local issues. Here are some of the most common problems we help clients solve:

• Planning restrictions – Some areas, especially around Templeogue or Rathfarnham, have tight planning guidelines that catch people off guard.
• Narrow access – Many homes have limited space for skips, machinery, or parking, which can slow down the work.
• Old wiring/plumbing – Homes built in the 60s–80s often need major updates behind the walls before any upgrades can happen.
• Poor insulation – A lot of homes in the area weren’t built with energy efficiency in mind, so we often need to improve walls, windows, or roofing.
• Tiny kitchens or closed layouts – Many homeowners want to knock walls and open things up, which needs careful structural planning.
• Attics that aren’t usable – We regularly convert attic spaces that are too cold, dark, or awkward into beautiful, usable rooms.
• Flat roof leaks or outdated garages – These are common and often overlooked until they cause issues.

At Bayt, we’re used to these challenges, and we know how to tackle them without blowing your budget or dragging the timeline.
