Kildare Firm Scoops Mater Contract

A Kildare-based modular building company has been awarded the contract to provide construction project offices for Sisk in the €130m redevelopment project for Dublin’s Mater Hospital.

The €250,000 project was awarded to RoanKabin, a firm which has supplied buildings to contractor Sisk for over 25 years, including the projects offices for development of the new Aviva Stadium at Lansdowne Rd.

The 10,000ft, three-storey RoanPlan Modular Building will house both the Sisk and Mater Campus Hospital Development project teams. The building has been specially designed to accommodate an additional fourth storey.

"Sisk needed to have the confidence of having its project offices ready in time," said Daniel McEvoy, Marketing Manager with RoanKabin.

"We were the only supplier that could promise to deliver offices of these dimensions within this period. Speed, space and price were all key elements that we could offer over the competition."

The Sisk project offices will be erected on site within one month, allowing Sisk’s onsite project team to be fully operational by mid September. The three-storey building is currently being constructed off site in RoanKabin’s state of the art manufacturing facility and will transported to site in late August.

Mr McEvoy added: "We have taken great pride and care in developing our RoanPlan system. Through constant research and design the RoanPlan Modular Building has evolved and still remains at the pinnacle of Modular Building System."
