Structural and civil engineers in Kildare.
Newbridge, Naas, Kildare town, Athy, Maynooth and Celbridge, served from Portlaoise and from the Dublin office in Clondalkin.
AOCA has worked across Kildare for thirty years, including the new St Patrick's National School in Newbridge, where the practice provided civil and structural engineering and acted as assigned certifier.
Kildare sits between the two Irish offices. Engineers travel from Portlaoise to the west of the county and from Clondalkin to the north and east, so a site visit is rarely more than a day away.

What we do in Kildare
How we work in Kildare
Planning and building control in Kildare run through Kildare County Council. We prepare the engineering drawings, reports and certificates a Kildare application needs, from site suitability and drainage to structural design and the Certificate of Compliance on completion, and we act as assigned certifier under the Building Control Regulations where the project requires it.
For insurers and loss adjusters we carry out subsidence, fire, storm and flood inspections across Kildare and report to the policy definitions. For homeowners we provide structural surveys, pre-purchase inspections and structural design for extensions and one-off houses. For developers and contractors we provide civil and structural design, building envelope review and construction stage inspections.
Every job is run by the same office that did the projects above, with the engineer who visits the site writing the report. Site visits in Kildare are arranged within the week.

Yes. Structural design, planning drawings, certification and building surveys for homeowners, alongside the larger commercial and public work.
Can you act as assigned certifier in Kildare?
Yes. We did so on St Patrick's National School in Newbridge and on schools in Carlow.
