“Gráinne Hollywood is an excellent project manager and provided all the necessary solutions to ensure the council were informed of all the decisions of NAMA, the receiver, contractors on site, etc to carry out the temporary works to bring this development to an acceptable temporary standard. This meant that it was not necessary for enforcement proceedings to be taken and the necessary claim on the existing bond commenced to complete development works for Taking-in-Charge by this council.”
As this site was split into different sections with different receivers, it was difficult to ensure the correct contacts were made, but Gráinne provided all the information required immediately.”
