Client Testimonials

Gareth O’Callaghan

Director JCA Architects

JCA have a long relationship of working with Summerhill Construction. Summerhill have recently completed the conversion of the former Cork Savings Bank to an Executive School of Business for University College Cork and the Irish Management Institute (IMI). This project demonstrated Summerhill’s capability of dealing with complex protected structures, while also constructing a contemporary intervention in a very confined city centre site.

I have worked with Summerhill Construction for many years – originally in relation to the refurbishment of Fitzgerald House for Cork Chamber, more recently in the refurbishment of our Motor Dealership in Douglas, and the construction of our 2 new motor dealerships in Bishopstown. Throughout our relationship, I have found Summerhill to be an organisation which is positive, true to its word, and entirely focused on delivering the best outcome for the client.
