John Cradock Ltd have 20 years experience in the delivery of high quality, award winning public realm projects, throughout Ireland
Workmanship
The success of public realm projects is entirely dependent on the quality of the workmanship. JCL have the direct personnel and specialist subcontractors with experience with natural stone installation and with the vision and ability to interpret and deliver on an architects design.
Liaison
The very nature of public realm projects results in a huge focus on stakeholders. The public will be affected by the works in the short term. Building and maintaining relationships with businesses, residents, road users is a key focus of our public realm projects.
Programming
Public realm projects inevitably contain products with long lead times such as granite and limestone. Managing the supply of these products and aligning the supply with the progress on site is a major challenge and one that JCL excel at.
