Housing Developments & Estates by Daly’s Construction ICF & Building Contractors

Planning a housing development in Dublin or anywhere across Ireland? You need a building method that keeps up with demand, meets energy targets and stays on schedule. That’s where Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) steps in.

At Daly’s Construction ICF & Building Contractors, we work directly with developers, councils and housing bodies to deliver full ICF housing estates that are warmer, stronger and faster to build. Whether you’re managing ten units or a hundred, we help you deliver energy-efficient, BER-compliant homes that stand the test of time.

Let us help you build faster, stronger, and more compliant—with ICF.

Why ICF Works So Well for Multi-Unit Builds

Quick turnaround on-site

Walls go up faster, even when the Irish weather acts up. That means tighter timelines, fewer delays and quicker handovers.

Consistent quality across every unit

 Each house in the estate meets the same high standard. From airtightness to insulation, everything performs as planned.

Better energy performance

Built-in insulation reduces heat loss and supports easy BER/NZEB compliance—no extra layers required.

Noise control built in

Great for busy estates or terraced layouts. ICF helps keep outside noise down and adds comfort for future occupants.

Long-term savings and fewer issues

ICF-built homes need less maintenance and are less likely to face damp, cold or structural issues. That means fewer post-handover issues.
