Design and Build Cork

When you’re planning to design and build a new home in Cork, you will find everything you need throughout the process at Ecotech Homes. We specialise in Timber Frame Homes and we can take your project from design to completion with our Design and Build service. Our mission is to make building an Ecotech house in Cork a reality for more people.

Timber Frame construction is an excellent solution for home builders, offering a sustainable build option that is energy efficient and doesn’t compromise on aesthetic appeal. We can provide and build your Timber Frame home as the sole contractor on your build, so the whole process is made simpler for you. We offer a range of options from existing designs available to view on our Web Site to a bespoke or customized design so that we can create the best package for you.

Our Design Process

Initial Consultation:

We begin with an initial consultation to discuss your needs and your vision. Everyone has a different approach to designing and building their own home and we can support you every step of the way.

Our experienced team will take the time to understand your requirements and work with you to develop a unique plan to make your dream home a reality. Site evaluation is a key part of the process and we can take the stress out of it with our Design and Build service. There’s no need to worry if you have no construction experience, we will manage and build the entire project for you. You can simply sit back and let Ecotech take care of it all.

Review House Plans

At Ecotech Homes, we have a brochure of plans that gives you the opportunity to choose your dream house without having to engage an architect yourself. We have a range of homes to suit everyone and you can see our thorough walkthrough videos to help you find the ideal design for your home.

At Ecotech, we have a reputation for innovative design and building at the highest level and our selection of house plans ranges from compact, single storey dwellings to large, detached family homes. Whether you are interested in our top quality Timber Frame Homes or our Passive House Plans, we will be delighted to talk with you about the options available to you.

Custom Design Services

We offer custom design services to ensure that you get the service and the outcomes you need. With our Design and Build service, we’ll develop precise architectural drawings from which our build team will work. If you haven’t selected a house from our comprehensive brochure of plans, this service will give you the ability to create a package that works for you.

As a small team of experts, we have the flexibility to accommodate specific client preferences and modifications.

Design Iteration

We can respond to individual client feedback, refining our designs to ensure that the final design meets your expectations. You are building your home and your input is invaluable, so you and your family will be a key part of the consultation process throughout.
