Launched in 2014, the Irish Construction Industry Awards recognises, encourages and celebrates original and innovative contractors, businesses, teams, consultants and projects that demonstrate excellence in the built environment.
This is the premier awards programme in accolading excellence in Ireland’s construction industry and the gala awards ceremony is attended by hundreds of leading industry figures.
The past winners list is a who’s who of Ireland’s construction industry and ACB Group’s three nominations is a notable achievement.
The prestigious award for Project Manager of the Year was won by ACB Groups’ George McKitterick. “George is an integral part of our team and has been praised many times by our clients for his high quality of workmanship, leadership skills and can-do attitude and we are delighted that he has got the recognition we feel he deserves at this level highlighting ACB’s approach to project delivery,” explained director Georgina Quigley.
Established by Managing Director Mark Quigley in 2003, ACB Group’s aim is to be recognised for their commitment to adding value for their clients through expert specialist solution delivery and continual process improvement.

BIM (Building Information Modelling) is an intelligent 3D model-based process that gives architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) professionals the insight and tools to more efficiently plan, design, construct, and manage buildings and infrastructure. ACB Group are working closely with their client to engage early in the design process allowing our clients leverage of our specialist technical design knowledge as early in the solution delivery cycle as is possible.
“Achieving BSI Kitemark certification by the end of this year is our big challenge at the moment,” explained director Georgina Quigley, “as it will solidify our position as an industry leader.” An industry leader in delivering digital design and modern methods of construction to an ever evolving and changing construction environment.
To achieve BSI ACB will demonstrate that they have BIM compliant systems and processes in place, employ trained and skilled Designers and Technologists with experience in delivering each of the required assessment criteria on their projects.
They use industry leading technologies for Model/Drawing Production, 4D Project Planning, 5D Cost Planning, and laser scanning to verify design and as-built information.
