Heat pump, solar or insulation first? Ask before you spend
Upgrading a home or building new? Share the house type, age, current BER (if you know it) and county, and ask installers and suppliers here what makes sense first and which SEAI grants apply.

Timber frame, block or ICF: what are you building with?
If you're planning a house or an extension in Ireland, this is the first big decision. Tell us what you chose and why: cost, build speed, energy rating, what your engineer or builder recommended.
Suppliers and builders: what are you seeing on site this year? Lead times, prices, what clients ask for.

Show your work: share a project or a product
This is the place to show what you make or build: a finished kitchen, a timber-frame house going up, a new pergola range, a hotel you fitted out.
Add a few photos, two or three lines on what it was and where, and a link to your website or your Archizone profile so buyers can contact you directly.
Buyers: browse for ideas and message the company if you like what you see.

How to ask for a supplier (and get useful replies)
Planning a build, a renovation or a fit-out? Post here and Irish suppliers will reply with advice, prices and contact details. It's free for buyers.
To get good answers, include: what you need (e.g. triple-glazed windows for a 4-bed house, a kitchen, a heat pump, 40 restaurant chairs), your county or town, when you need it, a rough budget if you have one, and photos or drawings if you have them.
Suppliers: reply in the thread or send the person a message. Please keep it helpful, no copy-paste spam.

I think it really depends on the space and budget. Made-to-measure furniture is a good option if you have specific dimensions or want something that fits your room perfectly. Flat-pack can work well if you are looking for something more affordable and straightforward. Either way, I would always check the material quality and fitting costs before making a decision.
