Nolan Construction

What Nolan Construction does

Nolan Construction is a privately held, founder-led construction firm headquartered in Hacketstown, County Carlow, Ireland, operating across the Leinster region. Founded in 2009 by Tom Nolan, a Civil Engineer, the company employs 16 people and delivers five integrated service lines: educational construction (in partnership with the Irish Department of Education & Skills, with over 20 school projects completed), commercial fit-out and building services, Irish period home conservation and heritage restoration, and residential new builds and extensions with an emphasis on contemporary and low-energy design.

The firm's core product is project-based construction services rather than a software or platform offering. Projects are executed by an in-house management team working alongside architects, long-standing craftsmen, and subcontractors, with the company maintaining involvement from initial design and planning through construction to finishing touches. Nolan Construction holds ISO 45001 certification for health and safety management, which supports its eligibility for public sector and educational tenders.

Revenue is generated through one-time, quote-based construction contracts determined on a project-by-project basis. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and direct, with the company's website serving as the primary digital presence and the firm engaging clients across education, commercial, heritage, and residential segments. There is no evidence of external investment, M&A activity, subsidiaries, or a corporate parent structure.
