    Just wondering does anyone have any recommendations on good engineers to design a house in the Kildare area?

    An engineer may not be the best person to design a house. An architect or an architectural technician may be more suitable. You could try this crowd - Liffey Architects 01-8089154. They work outside of Dublin aswell and they are very reasonable. Worth ringing for a quote.

    I didn't get work done by them but my sister-in-law did. She got a massive two storey extension put on to her house. She recently put it up for sale and all the estate agents who came to value the house were very impressed with the extension. They said there was great utilisation of the space. She also used them to deal with the builder and she said this helped the build go really smoothly and she feels she got a good price from the builder as he was dealing with an architect and not someone who didn't know what was going on!! My sister-in-law used them because they had already built her husband's mothers house in Clare.
