Ballynacally · Ennis · Co. Clare
New builds, extensions and renovations across County Clare — managed from first sketch to final snag by the two men whose names are on the company: Shane Murphy and Ger Donnellan.
What we build
We don't try to be everything to everyone. We focus on the three jobs that matter most to a family home — and we do them to a standard we'd put our own names to. (We already have.)
From foundations to the final coat of paint. We turn your planning permission into a warm, solid, energy-efficient home — built for Clare weather and built to last generations.
More room without the upheaval of moving. Kitchen extensions, sunrooms, extra bedrooms and granny flats — tied seamlessly into your existing home so it looks like it was always there.
Old farmhouse, tired bungalow or a family home that needs bringing up to date — we strip back, fix what's hidden, and bring it back to life while keeping the character you love.
Shane & Ger
on every job
Why homeowners choose us
Most building headaches come from the same place: nobody taking ownership. With Murphy & Donnellan, the people who quote your job are the people who build it — and the people who answer the phone when you ring.
No sales reps, no subcontracted management. You talk to Shane or Ger, start to finish.
Itemised and in plain English, so you know exactly what you're paying for before a shovel hits the ground.
Regular updates as your build progresses. If something changes, you hear it from us first.
Based in Ballynacally, we know the ground, the weather, the planners and the suppliers. That local knowledge saves you time and money.
Directors on every single job

“Every wall we build will still be standing long after we're gone. So we build it like it matters.”

Where we work
