Testimonials

What people say about GEM

The quality of the build was excellent and forward planning and attention to detail evident in how they approached and completed the work. The contract manager and foreman were both dedicated and attentive to any potential issues on site. All staff were helpful and efficient. A good relationship was maintained during the project between the contractor, subcontractors and members of the design team.

Conroy Crowe Kelly Architects

GEM Construction undertook and completed the project in an extremely competent and professional manner. It would be difficult to speak highly enough of them. The project was completed on time, without fuss and to the total satisfaction of the clients. We are very satisfied with the work undertaken by GEM Construction. They are a quality building contractor, exceptionally professional in their approach and mindful of their obligations, especially in the areas of Quality, Heath, Safety and Environmental.

Shane Spring, Director

Crean Salley Architects

We found GEM Construction to be a very competent contractor who brought a huge amount of experience and expertise to this project from completing similar projects for Dublin City Council over the years. They dealt with all the complicated issues such as the extensive phasing requirement, appeasing and facilitating the local residences in a very professional manner and worked extremely well with the design team. The project was delivered on time and within the client's budget.

Kerigan Sheanon Newman

Dublin City Council

GEM has been a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. Their Team have been very attentive with an exceptional ability to interpret the design intent all the way through to executing the final product. They were very consistent in providing alternate materials and methods of fabrication that certainly maintained our desired quality. The involvement of their Joinery division in both design and manufacture ensured that critical elements of the project could complete on time.

Margaret Shannon, Country Manager - Ireland

Emirates

It was potentially a perfect storm but the project was completed successfully, on time and with a final account agreed with 2 month of completion. The success of the project was due to a very good working relationship between all concerned but the involvement of the GEM Group and the skill, experience and dedication of the management team involved was a critical component.

Gerry Murphy, Project Manager

MCA Architects

We found GEM Construction to be professional, accommodating and eager to deliver the highest quality finish. The project was handed over on time, was completed within budget and to a high quality standard. We would have no hesitation in recommending GEM Construction for any other contract and would look forward to working with them in the future.

Adrian McNamara, Associate

Pascall + Watson Architects

The commitment by GEM to the successful outcome of the project was exceptional. The construction team were a pleasure to work with, particularly as the building was a very complex historic structure. They demonstrated such an understanding and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for similar projects that involve heritage structures.

GEM provided an overall high professional service and quality in planning, managing and executing the works. Of particular note was the considered appointment of sub-contractors with the necessary skill and experience and GEM’s willingness to engage in a helpful and collaborative way on all issues arising on site.
