Waterfront Project Update

We are excited to share our progress on our Waterfront South Central project. Watch the drone footage for the latest views of the development which will be the future European headquarters for a blue-chip banking client.

As always, we’re proud of the teamwork displayed by our entire project team in delivering this 450k sq. ft. GIA Grade A office block. We thank our client, design teams, supply chain, and our construction team for their dedication thus far.

December Safety Focus

This week, we launched our December Safety Focus Campaign. As we get closer to the festive season, let’s stay focused on what truly matters: returning home safe from work each day. The shorter days and the hustle and bustle of this month can lead to fatigue, making it even more crucial to keep safety at the forefront of our minds and ensure an incident and injury-free workplace. Our December Safety Focus Campaign highlights essential safety messages that focus on making the right choices for your safety at work, on the road, at home, and for your health and wellbeing.

Throughout the month, to give back to our communities, we’re fundraising for RMHC Ireland across all our sites and offices, which has supported 500 families of sick children since 2004.

We wish everyone in the construction industry a safe countdown to Christmas. We thank our dedicated teams and supply chain partners for consistently making safety your number one focus throughout the year.

World Quality Week Roundup

For World Quality Week, our campaign highlighted the importance of maintaining high standards across everything we do. Quality isn’t just a focus for one week; it’s a daily commitment we uphold to ensure excellence in each of our projects.

This year, our campaign ingrained quality in our operations through the following:
🔹 Quality-focused presentations on specific topics, highlighting best practices and innovation.
🔹 Recognising excellence through our Quality Awards, celebrating those who consistently go above and beyond.
🔹 Quality toolbox talks on site, ensuring everyone in our workforce understands their role in upholding quality.
🔹 Engaging our teams at every level to foster a culture where quality is at the heart of everything we do.

Neurodiversity in the Workplace Webinar

On Friday, we hosted an insightful webinar on Neurodiversity in the Workplace. The session was packed with valuable insights, covering:

  • Ways to enhance how we work with colleagues in the neurodivergent space.
  • Practical ways to better support neurodivergent colleagues and those caring for neurodivergent family members.
  • The importance of recognising and respecting our unique qualities while embracing our differences.
  • Tips we can all use to build a more inclusive work environment.

PJ Hegarty fosters a workplace that cares about and values its people, and we are committed to being a diverse and inclusive employer. This webinar is just one of the steps we take as part of our DEI strategy to ensure we deliver on that promise.

Irish Construction Industry Awards 2024

Congratulations to our Midleton Distillery Experience project team, who picked up Contractor Tourism & Hospitality Project of the Year at the Irish Construction Industry Awards!

The judges commended the project’s approach to sustainable craftsmanship. Delivering on the vision of our client Irish Distillers and their design team, the conservation and restoration of the existing structures and features, some of which date back to 1794, set this project apart, alongside our sustainable and circular economy approach to reusing materials.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this project a resounding success, and congratulations to all finalists and fellow award winners!

CIF Safety Campaign – Working From Heights Talk

Yesterday, as part of the CIF Safety Campaign 2024, we were honoured to host Marian Deasy as she shared the heartbreaking story of her son Lorcan, who tragically lost his life falling from a height in his workplace in 2018. Marian’s story is a stark reminder of the importance of workplace safety, especially when working at heights. Marian’s words resonated with us all: “That attitude of ‘ah sure it’ll be alright’ cannot be accepted.”

Working at height poses one of the most significant risks on any construction site and by correctly mitigating for work at height risks, we can ensure everyone gets home safe, every day.
