Rearcross House, Tipperary

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Rearcross House project stands as a testament to our expertise and craftsmanship. Key features of this project include a comprehensive refurbishment of a 200-year-old stone cottage, accompanied by two extensions and an SEAI-funded energy upgrade. This involved a complete building overhaul, including underpinning, floor removal, a new roof, and all essential structural work. New joists and mid-floor decking were installed, along with full internal and external plastering to seamlessly match existing features.

A2 Building Energy Rating (BER)

Upon project completion, the house was transformed from a derelict state to an impressive A2 Building Energy Rating (BER). A2 is close to passive house standard in terms in energy efficiency. In technical terms, it uses 25 kilowatt hours (kWh) per sq m each year.

This project was an SEAI funded energy upgrade project.
