Refurbishment Projects

NIPSA Offices, City of Derry

A 3 storey terrace house in St James Street Derry was converted to new office accommodation for NIPSA. The listed building has to be completely refurbished and the works involved stripping the entire building back to the existing walls. The building was completely reinstated to provide modern hi-tec offices while satisfying the exacting standards required of the historical townscape of the City of Derry.

Oxford Island Barge, Craigavon

One of the most unique restoration projects carried out by MACM, this involved the restoration of an old sand barge at Oxford Island, on the shores of Lough Neagh. The disused barge first had to be tenderly relocated from the scrap yard to its new home. The structure of the boat was then painstakingly returned to its original condition and now provides a unique and important visitor attraction in Oxford Island.

GATE HOUSE, COOKSTOWN

One of the smallest projects the company has ever carried out, but equally almost one of the most demanding with regard to its complex nature, intricate modifications and tight site. The project involved the complete gutting of the former gate house so as to create a functional living space, while maintaining the entire outer structure.
