design to
completion,

company that
does it all.
When it comes to remodelling your home, building
an extension, or planning a new build, NÜHAUS
is unique. There simply isn’t another company
that offers as much. Why? Because we’re not just
another ‘building’ firm - that’s only one part of what
we do.
Sure, we have skilled builders and a dedicated
team here to carry out all your construction work,
but when you’re building an extension or modifying
your home, in any way, that’s only part of the job.
There’s design, sourcing materials and financing,
which is why our team includes architectural
designers, engineers, and quantity surveyors –
all with one goal in mind – to deliver your vision
exactly the way you see it.
here to make
your vision
a reality.
At NÜHAUS, we won’t even begin planning the
work until our architectural designer has met
with you to discuss your needs during your FREE
consultation. Only then will we begin working
closely with you to draw up more detailed plans,
illustrating exactly what we can achieve through
references and photos of similar projects, so you
can be confident yours will be completed on time,
on budget, and exactly to your specifications.
We even have financial experts to help you with
your budget and get the most out of state incentives
and grants to make your vision a reality.
So whether it’s a new bathroom or a complete
house build, you’ve come to the right place.
NÜHAUS Ltd has it all under one roof.
about
Hello,
I’m Christopher from NÜHAUS Ltd. When we first
put together the design and build team, we wanted
to create something different from anything else
that was out there – a construction and renovation
one-stop-shop that really addressed the needs of
homeowners.
To do that, we needed to find what we could add to
our offering that our competitors couldn’t. One thing
our clients were telling us was that they had to deal
with too many companies - one to do the design, one
to do the building work, one for decorating… and so
on. As a result, projects suffered from too many errors
and confusion over who was doing what. Often, that
meant more costs and project changes. In the end,
the client didn’t always get exactly what they wanted.
So, with NÜHAUS, we aimed to create a professional
team that could offer it all – a single seamless solution
delivered by experts working together - so you get
the results you want.
And because everything you need is here under one
roof, we can achieve more too. Come to us with an
idea, and we’ll tell you exactly what we can do to
make it happen.
You can trust us to get the job done too. When we say
we’re going to be there, we’ll be there and when we
give you a quote, we won’t tell you halfway through
the build that the price has doubled. Of course, costs
can change, but we will be realistic from the outset.
Which is why we offer a FREE architectural designer
consultation at the beginning of every project.
So that’s us! That’s what we do and we believe we do
it very well. But we’ll let you be the judge of that. To
talk to us about your upcoming projects, get in touch
by calling 01 440 2285 or if you’re driving by, why not
pop in for a cup of coffee and a chat. We’re just off
Exit 5 on the M50.
In the meantime, take a read through this brochure
for a few examples of what we can do.
Yours sincerely
Christopher Boylan

a very personal project. It more than bricks and mortar,
it’s a home – which is why the planning stage of any
new build is so important. Unfortunately, this is where so

FREE architectural designer consultation, we’ll take the
time to listen to what it is you want to achieve and go out
of our way to make sure that’s exactly what you get.
From making the most of your budget to fine-tuning

as your dream home takes shape.

House Build
it’s not just a
house –
it’s a home.
Extensions
an extension of
your life
Today, life can change dramatically. Whether it’s a new
addition to the family, a change in career requiring a home
office, or you simply want to enjoy more living space, the
easiest and most cost-effective way of achieving that is
by extending your home. Additionally, an extension can
be a real investment, adding value, as well as comfort, to
your home should you ever decide to sell.
With NÜHAUS working closely with you, together we can
develop the ideal solution - one that not only meets your
specific needs, but adds further practicality and value.
Our experts will advise you on the latest technologies
and materials to cut build costs, as well as your energy
costs in future, and recommend ways of adding new
functionality to your home.
Call 01 440 2285 for a free architectural designer
consultation and from the outset, we will be able to
advise you on the best ways to get more from your
home.

Roofing technology has come a long way since slates.
We should know – roofing is one of our specialist areas.
Today, there is a bewildering range of materials used in
roofs that can add to looks as well as the functionality,
so whether it’s repairs, an upgrade or as part of an
extension, it’s worth talking to one of our architectural
design consultants to find out what you can achieve with
NÜHAUS.
Fibreglass, for example, is very popular right now, since
it creates roofs that are long lasting, almost maintenancefree and can be moulded into virtually any shape, so roof
top patios, gardens or ceiling windows are all now options
for homeowner at prices that were once impossible.
Call 01 440 2285 to find out more about the roofing
services available.
The entire project went very smoothly. It was
completed on time and well within budget.

Renovations
inspirational
renovations and
conversions
When it comes to renovations, this is one area
where NÜHAUS stands out from the competition.
Where traditional building firms will provide a
standard solution for most renovation projects, such as
an attic conversion, a new kitchen, garage conversion
or an en-suite bathroom, we will partner with you, look
at your needs and provide a range of options and
recommendations that will help you get exactly what you
need from the project. In fact, in many instances, our
customers say that we gave them inspiration for ideas
that made the end result even better than expected.
Aside from design, there are many things to take into
consideration when planning a conversion, perhaps
none so important as ensuring the project complies
with planning regulations. Fortunately, when you choose
NÜHAUS, our architects and legal experts will make sure
everything remains in line with all legislative requirements,
as well as health and safety standards.
Whether it’s for added space or specialised usage,
our design team will create the best solution for
your needs, including power, plumbing and lighting
requirements. Start by talking to us on 01 440 2285.
...The renovation of the house was a very tricky
job but NÜHAUS completed all with minimum
disruption and without heavy extra overspend.
- Diane Reilley, Enfield,County, Meath
The main reasons behind going for garage conversion
are simple and straightforward. By converting your extralarge garage into some other useful space, you not only
bring unused or underused floor space into regular
usage, but also increase the value of your house on the
property market. It’s a win-win situation, wouldn’t you
say?
At NÜHAUS, we offer ingenious ideas for various styles
and utilities of garage conversion projects. We offer
garage conversion services along with our renovations
and special needs packages.
Some of our bespoke garage conversion ideas include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Mini library or a study room
Your office-at-home
A perfect home-gym for you and your family
Joining the extra space to kitchen/bedroom/living
room, whichever applies to your house
A lavish mini-bar or a lounging space for relaxation
A perfect home-theatre or music hall
When you choose NÜHAUS, you not only choose expert
designers, engineers and constructors, but you also
choose our dedication and expertise when it comes to
property construction. With NÜHAUS, you will get the
best designs and construction quality, with virtually no
hassle at all, for your garage conversion projects.
If you are a homeowner in Dublin, and are looking for
competent and professional design & construction
partners for garage conversions, you can get in
touch with NÜHAUS experts at 01 440 2285, we
will promptly set up an initial free consultation
appointment with you.

NÜHAUS will

...and add value
We, at NÜHAUS, offer clever, feasible and extremely useful attic
conversion ideas to our client. The purpose of attic conversion,
in its essence, is to bring unused space into daily usage in
various ways. Just like garage conversion, attic conversion does
add considerable utility to your house. With more space available to
be used for different purposes, even the resale value of your property
definitely goes up in the market. Paired up with our renovation services,
attic conversion can add another little dimension to your house.
Some prominent features of NÜHAUS attic conversion services are:
•
•
•
•
•
More space made available without actual new construction
Best suited for bedrooms, store rooms and playrooms
You can incorporate luxury ideas like a pool table or a mini library
Fully certified by our in-house chartered engineers
Increasing heating efficiency with better radiators
At NÜHAUS, we have a team of expert designers and engineers to offer
you great ideas for attic conversion at your house. What’s more, we will
be even happier to hear your ideas!
If you are looking for attic conversion specialists in or around
Dublin, call us at 01 440 2285 right away, and we will be glad to set
up the initial free consultation appointment for you.
In Ireland, we don’t get too much sun, so it’s important
to make the most of what we do get. That’s why we find
more and more customers are coming to us for sun
rooms. The good news is, with today’s technologies
(and our expertise) you don’t even need much space to
incorporate a sun room into your home.
What’s more, we can advise on the best materials for
energy conservation, cutting your fuel bills further. So
investing in a sun room could pay for itself within a few
years.
And, with NÜHAUS, you get much more choice when it
comes to style. We can add real character and beauty
to your home with a range of materials, including wood
grains, such as oak, mahogany and rosewood, to name
just a few. And, of course, everything we build, as well as
all materials we use, complies with and often exceeds all
Irish and European standards when it comes to quality
and safety.
Could you do with a little more sunshine in your life?
Start by calling 01 440 2285.
NÜHAUS created a beautiful sun room that
went way beyond our expectations.
- Anita and Sean O’Connor, Sutton, Dublin 13
Sun Rooms
light up your life
Bathrooms
You can relax
with NÜHAUS
Like kitchens, designing a bathroom is a highly
personal venture, based on taste and individual
needs. A family, for example, will have much different
needs than those of someone who lives alone, or a
couple.
Which is why at NÜHAUS, we’ll take the time to work with
you to create the ultimate bathroom for you. Whether it’s
to simply install a new suite, a wet room conversion or a
complete refit, you can relax with the peace of mind of
knowing that, with our help, the result will be a bathroom
that is everything you want it to be.
Don’t worry about being left without a functional bathroom
while the work in underway. We provide external
bathroom facilities on every job for our workers that you
can use and we always aim to leave you with a functional,
if not complete, bathroom after just one day.
And, of course, we’re happy to install any fittings you’ve
already purchased, or source whatever it is you’d like to
help your dream bathroom take shape.
But, don’t take our word for it. Put us to the test. Tell
us about the bathroom you’d like by calling 01 440
2285.
Our new bathroom is an oasis of calm. I’m
spending more time in the bath than ever.
- Susan and Peter Doherty, Stepaside, Co. Dublin
At the core of our business philosophy is the fact that
NÜHAUS understands that, when it comes to your
home, everyone has different needs. That’s why we take
immense pride in creating home solutions for those with
special needs or disabilities.
We are happy to work with support staff such as carers,
medical personnel and family members to customise
homes and spaces not just to make life easier for people
with special needs, but to enable them to enjoy their
homes more also.
To achieve this, we have a team with specialised
expertise of the home customisations required for people
with special needs, such as those who have hearing or
visual challenges, or are confined to a wheelchair. We
will start by conducting a survey of your home and a
meeting with any medical personnel, or support staff, in
order to develop the best solution for those living there.
Services include customised bathrooms and kitchens,
ramps and specialised doors, as well as the installation
of the latest special needs technology, such as alarms
and sensors.
If you need a home customised for someone with
special needs, get in touch on 01 440 2285.
NÜHAUS has a real understanding of the
challenges facing people with special needs
and how best to address those needs.

Architectural Designer
John Burke
Quantity Surveyor
Michael Graur
Construction Director
Roger Cagney
Structural Engineer
This is Chris. He’s our
head of architectural
design and is passionate
about residential design.
A former student of DIT,
Dublin, while Chris works
with us here at head office,
he also operates his own
company Plantech working
in both the commercial and
residential design and build
industry. Having processed
more than 300 planning
applications to date,
Christopher is an expert in
all planning and
building regulations.
John Burke is our quantity
surveyor and responsible
for the budgets for each
job. He’s an expert in
sourcing the best, most
cost-effective materials for
projects while also ensuring
that the project meets all
legal and quality assurance
requirements.
A good project manager is
vital to every job. Michael
looks after each job,
liaising closely with John,
our quantity surveyor, to
make sure all fully comply
with building regulations.
Additionally, he’s
responsible for managing
the team working on
each job.
Roger is a fully qualified
chartered engineer and our
assigned site certifier. His
job is to carry out structural
inspections, required by
building regulations and
acquire the certification
required if the owner wants
to sell the property later.
‘Good design is essential
to any build. Not only does
it form a clear visual plan
for everyone involved, but
it also gives the client a
preview of how it will turn
out. The surveys we carry
out before work begins
also help us pre-empt any
problems that might crop
up and enables everyone
to work together to achieve
the shared vision.’
Working alongside Chris,
together they will ensure
there is full transparency
and agreement throughout
the projects, time-scales
and pricing are met, errors
are minimised and you get
the service and results
you want.
NÜHAUS is here to help
you get the most value for your
budget in whatever way we can. That’s
why we are one of the few construction firms
that advise on SEAI grants, tax incentives and other
forms of government assistance to people building or
modifying their homes.
For example, the Home Renovation Incentive (HRI)
Scheme offers tax relief in the form of an income tax credit
of 13.5% on all qualifying expenditure when carrying out
work on your own home or a rental property. Only some
contractors are eligible for this relief. We’re pleased to
be able to say that NÜHAUS Ltd is one such contractor.
Help with
finance
There is also a lot of assistance available for improving
the energy performance of your home - significantly
reducing your energy bills – clearly, a win-win scenario
for homeowners.
Cash grants are available for a wide range of work
(probably including some you don’t know about), so this
is just another good reason for using NÜHAUS for all your
home building work:
