What Monaghan homeowners hire builders for

General builders manage and carry out larger construction projects — extensions, full renovations, attic and garage conversions, and structural alterations. A good main contractor coordinates all the other trades (groundwork, blockwork, roofing, electrics, plumbing, plastering) and keeps the job on programme and on budget. For anything structural, you'll also need engineer and, often, planning input.
