Builder recommendations & advice: Co. Donegal
Hi everyone,
Planning a \~44 sqm ground-floor extension of a self-contained flat and looking for builder recommendations in the Donegal/North West area.
The existing cottage is 100+ years old—original stone at the front, with a single-block rear from a previous extension where the new build will connect. Because of the mix of old stone, single block, and new construction, I’m looking for trades comfortable with older building integration.
Looking for input on:
Builder Recommendations: Reliable contractors in the area (feel free to DM details).
Acoustics & Layout: Best practices for soundproofing shared walls/doors and setting up independent heating/sub-metering for a rental unit.
Vetting Trades: Key red flags or contract terms to watch for when getting quotes for mixed-construction builds.
Any other advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
