Lafferty

Last week, Lafferty – A Cumming Group Company was delighted to welcome the second group of Transition Year students for an engaging and insightful exploration into the exciting world of Project Management! Throughout the week-long programme, students gained valuable insights and hands-on experience, exploring key aspects of the construction and project management industry through interactive site visits, dynamic workshops, and informative sessions with our expert team. The week concluded with our exciting TY Challenge, where students showcased their learnings in a practical and creative way. We wish each student the very best in their future studies and careers - there’s no doubt they'll excel in whatever career path they choose! #ProjectManagement #ConstructionIndustry #TYProgramme #FutureLeaders #Lafferty #CummingGroup

We’re excited to launch a new video series where our Managing Director, John Rattigan, shares key insights from his 22 years in project delivery with Lafferty – now a Cumming Group Company – lessons shaped by landmark projects like Dundrum Town Centre, Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Grand Canal Square, and the transformative Pembroke Quarter (Glass Bottle Site). Key Takeaway from Episode 1: “Go Slow To Go Fast.” Success in project delivery starts with strong foundations. In this first video, John explains: - The Importance of a Clear Project Charter: Defining what’s in (and out of) scope prevents costly changes later. - Front-End Loading: Ensuring key requirements are embedded early for smoother execution. - Space for Creative Design: Allowing architects and consultants to deliver high-value solutions before operational constraints take over. By taking the time upfront, projects can be delivered faster, more effectively, and with greater cost certainty.

As another year has kicked-off, it's good to remind ourselves of how the work we do every day adds up to big impacts that help the construction industry work towards achieving our long-term climate goals. At Glass Bottle, this continues to be at forefront of how all design and construction is undertaken. Some of the many areas we’re focussed on are: · Targeting BREEAM Excellent and EU Taxonomy compliance; · Protection and enhancement of site ecology and local biodiversity; · Flood risk mitigation, and protecting the quality of existing water features; · Equipment efficiency for reducing water consumption, plus leak detection and prevention; · Lighting efficiency, thermal modelling, overheating analysis, and district heating enabled; · Climate vulnerability and risk assessments, global warming potential calculations, and adaptability for projected climate change scenarios; · Life cycle analysis, plus adaptability and disassembly options to support future circularity; · Reduced carbon footprint, plus responsible sourcing of construction products and materials used; · Enhancing construction waste management including material reuse and recycling, with over 97% of waste diverted from landfill; · Achieving Excellence in the Considerate Constructors Scheme through all the areas of Respect the Community, Care for the Environment, and Value their Workforce.

From Garda Headquarters to 37,636m² of Grade A office accommodation, it’s been an honour for our team to assist in the development and transformation of Harcourt Square. See the two year-long timelapse video below, which illustrates the hard work and dedication that has gone into making Harcourt Square a reality. It is an especially exciting part of the project to see the façade of the building taking shape before our eyes. The progress made to Harcourt Square in 2024 was nothing short of inspiring, and we're looking forward to seeing it serve the evolving needs of office users on its 1.9 acre Dublin city centre site.
