Apartment Blocks & Commercial Buildings by Daly’s Construction

Ireland’s growing towns and cities need buildings that are warm, energy-efficient and ready for the future. That is why more developers are turning to ICF, or insulated concrete formwork, to deliver high-performance apartment blocks and commercial spaces.

At Daly’s Construction ICF and Building Contractors, we work closely with developers, councils and project managers to build safer, quicker and more cost-effective structures using ICF. Whether it is a retail unit, an office block or a full multi-storey development, we bring the experience and support to keep your project moving on time and on budget

Why ICF Works for Apartments and Commercial Buildings

Lower Costs Over Time

That’s a win for developers, investors, and future occupants—better performance, lower running costs.Insulated concrete forms help you save money from the start. They reduce bills, cut down on maintenance, and keep energy costs low for years to come.

Warmer and Quieter Buildings

With built-in insulation, ICF blocks keep warmth in and noise out. Tenants benefit from improved acoustic and thermal comfort—an added value for apartment living and office use.

Quicker Construction Timeline

ICF is quicker to build with than many traditional systems. The forms go up fast and stay strong. That means reducing time to market and generating faster occupancy or return.

Flexible Design Options

Every site is different, and ICF works with that. You can shape layouts to suit urban plots or open countryside. From multi-storey apartments to sleek modern shops, ICF adapts to your plan.

Stronger for the Long Run

This way of building stands the test of time. It holds up well against Ireland’s wind and rain, offers solid fire resistance, and reduces long-term wear. It is a solid choice for commercial projects that need to last.
