Testimonials

Tony Power - Environmental Health Safety & Sustainability Manager

BOR Construction Ltd has worked on many projects at the Bausch and Lomb facility in Waterford. I have always found the company to act in a very professional manner in any dealings I or my department has had with them. The company has had an excellent safety record on site and places EHS to the forefront of their day to day operations.

I would have no hesitations in recommending BOR Construction for future work or to potential clients.

A huge thank you for doing such an efficient and tidy job for us. It was great to meet someone with such a “can do” attitude. We engaged Brendan to do some remedial work in our kitchen and general building on short notice. Brendan discussed the job thoroughly with us before starting, and their work was to a very high standard. Brendan and his team were extremely professional, I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to have construction work carried out.

Kathryn Quinn & Bryan O’ Donnell - Household Owner

Brendan and his team did a house extension for us in 2007. It was a two story extension that gave us a new kitchen, utility room, double bedroom with ensuite, walk in wardrobe and a new bathroom.

We are very pleased with the end product and all the work was carried out to a high standard. Brendan discussed all aspects of the build with us throughout and he spent time listening to us and sourcing special materials that we requested along the way. We have two small children and we lived in the house for the duration of the build. Safety was always a priority for Brendan and the work was carried out efficiently.

He came in on budget and there was no hidden surprises at the end. Overall Brendan was extremely professional from beginning to end but most of all he was a gentleman and a pleasure to have around. We had the utmost trust in him and we would recommend him highly to do any work.

Gerard and Muriel Fitzgerald - Household Owner

When we were selecting a construction company to conduct a major renovation of our 6 bedroom Victorian era property in Waterford, we felt that Brendan O’Rourke (BO’R) Construction stood out head and shoulders over the others. Right from the start, the professionalism and attention to detail demonstrated by BO’R Construction was notable.

The project involved the complete restoration of a listed building and BO’R Construction offered far more than just a team of craftsmen to do a job. They also offered a professional consultancy and total project managed experience with well thought out and reasoned proposals on all aspects of the renovation, while also taking into account the character of the property. The team of professional craftsmen exuded their art and paid great attention to every detail. Apart from the actual renovation, BO’R Construction also offered a high standard of advice in terms of interior design, most notably with the challenge faced in the design and layout of the kitchen.

It was indeed a pleasure to deal with a company that clearly knows its business, was always willing to listen, offer practical advice, and deal with all issues in a prompt and professional way. Clearly BO’R Construction are more than a construction company, they offer a hugely impressive project management experience and left us with total peace of mind!
