Limerick based Stelcon Construction Ltd was established by Diarmuid Collins in 2002. Initially the company focused on building work in the residential sector, but over the years, they have diversified into one of the leading agricultural steelwork companies in the south west.
Based in Athea, the company has completed a large portfolio of projects with various clients around the county and into Kerry. The company provides advice on the design and layout of all types of agricultural buildings and farmyard developments as well as industrial steelwork. Their work-load is made up of 75% in the agri sector and 25% in industrial. “We manufacture slatted units, calf sheds, workshops, garages, industrial units and in the past few years, we have diversified into insulated free range poultry housing”.
Stelcon Construction Ltd strives to provide the best value for money possible for their clients. This process begins at the design stage. Their in-depth knowledge of construction costs allows them to develop the design in the most cost-effective manner. “We service a large customer base and have the knowhow and capability to take on any project where our services are requested. We go through the design of each project with the customer and if we can offer any advice we will, but at the end of the day, as long as the customer is happy that is all that matters,” said Diarmuid.
Based in Athea, Co. Limerick the business manufactures high quality products for their ever-increasing customer base. Diarmuid believes in keeping things simple for his customers and that the best business is built on reliable and efficient service. The company delivers solutions that are functionally efficient at the most cost-effective rates on the Irish market.
Stelcon Construction Ltd has developed a strong network of clients over the years; built on trust, sound ethics and the repetitive delivery of successful projects. That is why they are confident in their abilities to deliver an excellent service. Fabricating which is a very skilled trade that covers a wide range of industries, is carried out by Diarmuid and the staff.
The company’s core values are reliability, responsibility and efficiency. As a result of its high flexibility, interactive methods and agile management structure, the company can always meet its clients’ needs. It strives to exceed clients’ expectations and endeavours to become an asset to their business. The most competitive prices are always guaranteed as Diarmuid explains: “We try to be as competitive on price as we can without comprising the quality of the project and that’s a big reason why we’ve been successful.”
Diarmuid and his team prides themselves on the level of services they provide for their clients. This has led to many repeat customers. They listen to their customers’ needs and are always willing to go the extra mile that is required in order to deliver quality solutions. Every project they undertake, regardless of the size, is given the same level of attention to detail to ensure unrivalled customer service. They will help you design and draw up plans that will suit your needs. Each project begins and ends with an absolute dedication to high standards and workmanship. From a one-off small job to a large project, the team are committed to high quality at every level. “We see a lot of repeat customers on the books here. We place a huge emphasis on quality and doing the job right the first time and I think customers appreciate that.”
Stelcon Construction Ltd consistently records high levels of repeat business and receives a large amount of business from referrals which are both down to the fact that they are professionals who care about build quality and client satisfaction. “A lot of our work has been obtained through word of mouth. I don’t tend to advertise too much at all. We just let our work speak for itself. As the saying goes : One good job will sell another”. Stelcon’s objective is to constantly deliver a friendly and approachable service with professional project management. Whether you want something traditional or ultra-modern, they will be able to listen to your ideas and help you come up with something to meet your needs.
All projects are carried out with a professional commitment to health and safety, quality and the environment. Stelcon actively reviews and promotes its health and safety policy to ensure a safe working environment for all involved in the construction process. “We were one of the first companies in West Limerick to receive the CE Marking approval and are audited by a BM Trada to retain that certification. Accreditation is very high on our list of priorities as everything must be in order to carry out grant work for farmers. “Health and Safety is a key area too and we have a company called the Ayrton Group that comes in and looks after all our policies in this regard.”
This family run business provides a vital service to the agricultural industry in the fields of structural steel and metalwork, with a large, loyal client base founded on their reputation for great service and quick turnarounds on high pressure programmes. “We try our best to keep our customers happy and as I said, the emphasis has always been on quality. We use the best of materials all of which are sourced here in Ireland. We are busy for the next few months at the very least, which is great.
Behind every good man is an even better woman and Diarmuid’s wife Tina plays a massive role in the business as she looks after the administration, which can be a tasking job at the best of times with so much paperwork to be attended to. Diarmuid attributes his success to hard work and a loyal and local based team and would like to take this opportunity to thank his customers for their support over the years.
There is no doubt that this family run business has the capabilities to grow even bigger in the future if that’s the path they choose to follow.
