BuildTech is a residential building contractor headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with an additional office in Mayo. Founded by Farnan Culkin in 2016, the company employs approximately 17 people and focuses on substantial home improvement projects, including house renovations, extensions, and deep retrofits. The business prioritizes projects with a contract size of at least €100,000, reflecting a focus on comprehensive renovations rather than minor repairs.
BuildTech has demonstrated steady growth since becoming profitable in 2018. In 2021, the company reported a revenue of €5 million, with ambitions to surpass €7 million in 2022. Word of mouth and offline advertising were the early drivers of growth. More recently, BuildTech invested in digital marketing and overhauled its online presence to reach a broader audience and generate leads better aligned with its services.
The firm’s activities span the entire project lifecycle: feasibility assessment, architectural design, project management, securing planning permissions, and construction. Every project includes the oversight of a dedicated manager, and clients have access to a project portal for real-time updates and budget tracking. BuildTech is a member of the Chartered Institute of Building, ensuring adherence to recognized industry standards.
Recent projects are concentrated in the Dublin area and include full-home renovations and energy efficiency retrofits, where BuildTech manages all aspects from design consultation to handover. The company is fully insured and has received recognition for quality and customer satisfaction, including a Business All-Star Award for Residential Construction in Dublin.
