Residential Development Phase 3 & 4 at Letteragh Rd., Galway City

D. Fallon Consulting Group (DFCG) provided multi-disciplinary services to this new residential development of 43 units over 5 blocks at Letteragh Road, Galway City.

Currently under construction, the development consists of three storeys of flats and maisonettes fronting Letteragh Road, with internal access roads and surface car parking to the rear.  A two storey apartment block set within a landscaped garden provides a conclusion to the development at the Northwest end of the site.

Built using traditional cavity wall construction and a combination of precast hollow-core floor slabs at first floor with Posi-Joists spanning party walls at second floor level. Lightweight prefabricated timber trusses were used to complete the roof structure. Externally the units are finished in fair-faced brick work at ground floor and render on the upper levels.

Development is due for completion early 2023.
