In the latest series of Room To Improve, architect Dermot Bannon returns with four new designs for four incredible properties.
With soaring costs on materials around the country and budgets being pushed, Quantity Surveyor Claire Irwin has to work harder to make sure everyone gets their dream home on budget and on time.
In this week's episode, viewers meet Cal Moran and Sean Hegarty - both of whom felt they had struck gold when they purchased their house on Dublin's North Strand five years ago.

They had already lived close to the area and really loved the locality and the people in the community, so were desperate to find somewhere nearby. Unfortunately, although the garden is the perfect size for their two pups, the house needs a lot of work.
In one of the most challenging builds that Room To Improve has ever seen, Dermot Bannon enters the equation to tackle titling ceilings, bobbing floors, and low door frames.
Cal and Sean have ambitions for this house, however, they don’t have a big budget. With this in mind, Dermot presents what he feels would work best for this two storey over basement house.
He plans on turning the building into a two bedroom home, with a chic living/dining area where the couple can socialise with friends for the first time ever. Click through the gallery above to see the results.
