For a better built home
Delivering Excellent Quality Work On Time & On Budget
Better Builders is a reliable family building business in operation since 2004. Our aim is to minimise the stress often associated with building projects through an unwavering commitment to excellence. We price our jobs carefully to avoid nasty surprises and also avoid ‘spreading ourselves too thin’, so our jobs get completed on time, everytime. That means you benefit from the expertise of a hands-on, experienced crew, dedicated to you.
Most projects we undertake involve the extension of existing, loved homes with a view to benefitting from more space or having the existing space reconfigured.
One recent renovation in Rathgar involved the addition to a beautiful Victorian terraced house of a bedroom & bathroom extension over a new garden-facing kitchen and living area.
In Dundrum, we extended the footprint of an existing contemporary home to create a gorgeous, family friendly space including a kitchen, dining and sitting room giving onto a lovely, large garden.
At Better Builders, we have our eyes clearly planted on what’s best for today and for tomorrow. Our team are expertly trained in all the aspects and tools of retrofitting homes to make them more energy-efficient and therefore more sustainable.
We only use the very best of retrofitting materials which will slash future energy bills - great for the pocket and for the planet. And the good news is: government SEAI grants will cover much of the cost, making it a win-win. While we are careful to conserve the past, we equally have our eyes planted on the future.
We specialise in the careful renovation and expansion of contemporary and period properties so they deliver their full potential as bright, warm family homes.
Both involve introducing sensitive interventions using the latest of innovative practices and materials while also drawing on the skills of trusted master joiners, plasterers, painters and decorators.
Experts in new builds, Better Builders created a gated community of 11 luxurious, detached homes at Miller’s Weir, Athgarvan. Previously, the company built a housing estate at Moore Avenue and apartments at Saddler’s Way, Kilcullen, both in Kildare.
Better Builders also specialises in commercial work, most notably in the bar and restaurant sectors. We were responsibe for the fitout of Lenehans Bar and Grill in addition to that of Fallon and Byrne in Rathmines and Exchequer Street. Previously, the company built the Health Centre in Newbridge for the HSE and carried out work at Dermot Weld’s stud farm in Co. Kildare.
The Way We Do It
We work closely with quantity surveyors when pricing to avoid nasty surprises for either party and avoid spreading ourselves thin so our jobs don’t drag on. This also means you benefit from the expertise of a hands-on experienced crew rather than rookies.
Clear, open communication and problem-solving are at the heart of our philosophy. We believe that’s a two-way street; listening to what you want and then making it a reality while also sharing information on project progression. This can be done via weekly Whatsapp messages and photos or in person on site if that’s what’s preferred. Either way, you will always be aware of how your project is progressing as better built.
The answer is yes – now what’s the question?

Say About Us
We got Paul to build an extension for us and they were great, it had a beautiful, recycled brick exterior finish and we were delighted with the results of the project. They were great at communicating everything to us and very trustworthy.
Tim & Marie, Rathgar
The team at Better Builders did a huge renovation on our house, they had to completely strip it and built a new two-story extension that wrapped around the house, they did an exterior insulation wrap on the entire house and a great finish. We have recommended them already to friends and family.
Terry & Siobhan, Rathfarnham
Paul and his guys were fantastic, they were very clear and kept us abreast of the entire build. We found them to be very thorough, honest and with an excellent eye for detail.
