Founder and managing director Paul O’Looney is joined by a five-strong team of carpenters / blocklayers who are supported and supplemented by the same tried and trusted subcontractors. Paul is also grateful for the support he receives from his wife Aoife.

“We’re a small building firm operating in the West Clare area,” Paul says.

“We carry out new builds, refurbishments, extensions, first and second fixing and property maintenance as well as the occasional commercial project. We have a top-class team of tradespeople who are dedicated to not only meeting, but exceeding clients’ expectations. No job is too big or too small.”

Whether your next project is a new build, renovation or extension, Paul O’Looney Construction’s one-stop shop approach will ensure that both the design and building processes are smooth, comfortable and hassle-free. The Miltown Malbay contractor’s reputation for quality construction and ability to complete projects on time and within the agreed budget is borne out by the high volume of repeat business and referrals it receives from design teams and scores of satisfied customers.

By employing highly-skilled people, working closely with its engineers and architects, and using only the very best building products, this fully insured family business is able to deliver the highest quality construction to its clients. Its main suppliers are Cullinan & Sons in Ennistymon, TJ O’Mahony in Gort, Shannonside Homevalue Hardware in Kilrush and Ennis, John O’Dwyer Concrete Products in Quilty and Ennistymon Plant in Ennistymon.

Paul O’Looney Construction’s subcontractors include C&L Heating & Plumbing Services in Lissycasey, West Clare Electrical in Miltown Malbay and MD Roofing, while McKenna Consulting Engineers in Miltown Malbay, Diarmuid Keane + Associates in Kilkee and Paul Conway Architects in Ennistymon are the architects / engineers the builder collaborates with on a regular basis.

Constantly evolving and adapting to keep pace with an ever-changing construction sector, Paul O’Looney Construction currently has nine projects on its books, including new builds in Coore and Miltown Malbay, and house refurbishments in Liscannor. The contractor has also renovated many holiday homes in Spanish Point and Lahinch over the years.

“We’re very busy at the moment. A lot of it comes down to reputation and word of mouth. It also helps that we enjoy a strong relationship with our subcontractors, suppliers and designers. And not forgetting our own direct employees who are extremely flexible and can turn their hand to anything. You’re only as good as your last job,” Paul asserts.

Outlining the background to his company, the affable West Clare man explains: “I’m a carpenter by trade and things had gone quiet in 2011 with the recession.

“The construction industry was hit hard by it, but I still felt it was a good time to start up on my own. So I decided to go for it in January 2012. It was definitely tough at the start, but we got through it and once we did, the business started to grow and we got busier and busier with projects.”

Looking to the future, Paul is keen to grow the business further and to ensure that his clients are fully satisfied with his company’s work.

“There is no reason why we can’t grow another bit. But our main focus is on continuing to give the best service possible. We pride ourselves on quality and customer satisfaction. We will always go the extra mile for our customers.”

Passionate about construction, Paul would like to take this opportunity to thank his clients, suppliers and design teams for their continued support as well as his staff and subcontractors for their hard work, dedication and expertise.
