Period Renovations, Home Extensions and Complete Refurbishments

Form Construction carries out period property renovations, home extensions and complete refurbishments across Dublin. Each project is carefully planned to retain the qualities that make the house distinctive while improving its layout, comfort and everyday practicality.

What We Do
Form Construction works on period homes and residential properties throughout Dublin, completing renovations, extensions and full-house refurbishments. Some clients need additional space for a growing family. Others want to open up a dark ground floor, restore original details or modernise a property that has not been updated for decades. Every project begins with the house itself, its condition, layout, history and potential.
Our work may include structural alterations, rear and side extensions, internal reconfiguration, kitchen renovations, bathroom upgrades, flooring, bespoke joinery, insulation, electrical work, plumbing and detailed interior finishes. The aim is not to make every property look new. It is to create a comfortable, practical home while retaining the proportions and character that made the building worth renovating in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions
A period property renovation can involve structural repairs, layout changes, insulation, plumbing, electrical upgrades, heating, flooring, joinery and interior finishes. Original features may also be repaired or restored. The exact scope depends on the age, condition and previous alterations made to the house.
Yes. Form Construction works on Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and other older residential properties across Dublin. Each period has different construction methods and architectural details, so the renovation is planned around the individual building rather than approached like a standard modern house.
A modern extension can work extremely well with an older home when the proportions, materials and connection between the two spaces are properly considered. Some designs create a deliberate contrast, while others use brick, stone, timber or traditional details to complement the existing house.
A renovation usually includes more substantial work, such as structural changes, repairs, extensions or a new internal layout. A refurbishment often concentrates on updating finishes, fixtures and the general condition of the property. Larger residential projects commonly include elements of both.
Many original features can be kept, repaired or carefully incorporated into the finished design. These may include cornicing, fireplaces, ceiling roses, timber floors, sash windows, internal doors, architraves and exposed brickwork. Their condition is assessed before the work begins.
Yes. Complete refurbishments may cover every part of the property, including kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, electrical systems, plumbing, heating, decoration, fitted storage and bespoke joinery. Managing the work as one project helps create a consistent finish throughout the house.
Timescales vary considerably. A focused internal refurbishment may take several weeks, while a full renovation with structural work and an extension can take several months. The property’s condition, design complexity, planning requirements and chosen finishes all influence the programme.
That depends on the extent of the work. Remaining in the house may be possible during a smaller refurbishment, but a full renovation involving structural changes, utilities and several rooms can make temporary accommodation more practical. This should be discussed before work begins.
