Construction Solicitor Dublin

Building disputes, defects claims and payment recovery for clients in Dublin — Mary Molloy Solicitors, established 1981.

Dublin is where Irish construction concentrates - the busiest renovation market, the deepest subcontracting chains, and the largest stock of Celtic Tiger apartments now working through the defects schemes. Our practice sits in the middle of it, at Ormond Quay in Dublin 7, acting for the households and trades the big construction firms don't.

Construction Law in Dublin

Dublin construction disputes move through the Dublin Circuit Court and the High Court on the quays, with Dublin City Council and the county's three other local authorities administering building control across the region. The city's density shapes its disputes: party-wall and boundary friction on infill extensions, apartment and duplex defects at a scale no other county approaches, and renovation budgets that make legal remedies economic.

Two Dublin patterns dominate our files. First, the extension and renovation boom - Victorian and Edwardian stock being reworked at six-figure budgets on quote-based contracts, generating exactly the defects and abandonment disputes those budgets deserve better protection from. Second, the apartment defects era: OMCs across the city assembling fire-safety applications, owners navigating levies and retrospection, and the coming statutory scheme concentrating minds in every 1991-2013 block.

Mary Molloy Solicitors are solicitors, not engineers, architects or building surveyors. Nothing on this page is a technical assessment of any property or works. Defects claims stand or fall on independent expert evidence — a chartered engineer’s or building surveyor’s report — obtained early. Scheme rules, grant rates and legislation in this area change frequently; confirm the current position before making any decision.
