MMD Construction was among the winners at this year's Irish Construction Excellence (ICE) Awards.
The County Cork-based company received the honours, which recognises excellence in construction across Ireland, for its Barrack Street Housing Project that was delivered in partnership with client Cork City Council.
The Barrack Street project involved the transformation of a brownfield site into 31 high-quality, energy-efficient residential units, integrating new construction with the sensitive refurbishment and fit-out of existing buildings. The development enhances city living, promotes sustainability, and supports the local community with much-needed homes.
Discussing the award, a statement from MMD Construction said: "We are honoured that Barrack Street has been acknowledged for its quality, innovation, and contribution to addressing urgent housing needs in the heart of Cork City."
It continued: "This win marks our second consecutive ICE Award, following last year's success with the Springville House project, also delivered for Cork City Council. Both projects demonstrate our commitment to building homes that matter—delivering urban regeneration, sustainable design, and social impact.
"We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Cork City Council for their continued trust, and to the wider design and delivery team whose collaboration and expertise helped make this project a success."
