In April 2003 we began construction work on LittleWood, an exclusive development of 79 apartments and penthouses in Stepaside village, which is located at the foot of the Dublin Mountains. SIZE: 68,000 sq. ft
The five apartment blocks, all of which have underground car parking, are set in landscaped grounds, which are in turn surrounded by an area of outstanding natural beauty including amenities such as Fernhill Gardens – a popular tourist attraction located just across the road from LittleWood. In line with our strict practice of maintaining a tight control on all construction costs, our design incorporated a precast concrete load-bearing inner leaf on the external wall.
In every aspect of the construction of LittleWood we have displayed particular sensitivity to the surrounding environment. This, combined with paying close attention to both internal and external aesthetic design details, has assumed great importance.
Located on the existing site of a derelict 19th Century British Army Barracks, ABM is currently undertaking enabling works in preparation for future refurbishment works which are planned for the historic barracks building.
ABM has recently completed 2 no. Community Nursing Units. The 100-bed Clonskeagh development consisted of the demolition of two existing single-storey buildings and the construction of a community nursing unit at the south western corner of the site.
continueABM has acquired contracting firm E Ratcliffe, based in St. Helens, on the strategically important Liverpool-Manchester corridor. ABM’s Continuous Development Strategy, coupled with our many years experience in the international construction sector, enables us to recognise a niche in the market and establish a presence with ease.
