About Fingal Planning Consultants

Fingal Planning Consultants were established in 1999 by Emmett Tolan specialising in the residential/commercial sectors. The company was set up on the strengths and wealth of experience gained in a wide variety of projects in the construction industry over the past twenty five years. Special attention is paid on individual projects to detailed design and quality of finish.

​

Emmett Tolan is a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (MCIAT), a Chartered Building Engineer (C. Build E FCABE) and a Registered Building Surveyor (B0230).

​

Since its formation, Fingal Planning Consultants has developed a vast client base, which includes corporate, community and private sector projects.

​

We provide a complete range of architectural and construction services from the design concept stage to project management. We place great emphasis on achieving a high level of quality in all aspects of our work. We can offer advice on the selection of a range of competent builders suitable for your project.

​

It is the policy of the practice to establish close working relationships with its clients during the design and construction phases of projects and to maintain these relationships upon completion. We are a small practice and can provide a constant “hands-on” service to all of our projects. The majority of our business is won through referrals and currently most stem from repeat commissions from our client base.

​

Naturally, we have established a good dialogue with Local Authority planners and we have a high rate of success, including, a good record in winning planning appeals.

​

We are up to date with the latest in legal, statutory and contractual requirements and design to the highest energy standards.
