GIA Surveyors (GIA), a surveying and design consultancy firm, has launched a new office in Dublin.
This marks the firm's fifth office and follows the opening of its Belfast operations in 2018, which joins London, Manchester, and Bristol.
GIA has worked on some major developments in cities throughout the UK, Ireland, and overseas - including Battersea Power Station, the London Shard and the American Embassy in the UK.
The firm said it is seeking to meet the growing and immediate demand for experienced' Daylight/Sunlight' and 'Rights of Light' consultants in Ireland following the relaxing of building heights, as well as increased density and other forms of intensive development.
The company plans to grow its Dublin-based team between now and 2022.
Kevin Francis, Managing Partner, GIA Ireland, said that Ireland has always been an important market for GIA.
"We believe the market is brimming with opportunities to make a positive, sustainable impact on the built environment and its surrounding communities.
"Good urban design is essential in supporting the economic, social, cultural, and sustainability goals of Ireland’s cities and is integral to ensuring that Dublin maintains its competitive edge as a place to live, work and play," he said.
