Testimonials

“We already had planning permission when I initially contacted Mannion Passive House Builders to do PHPP on the design. My wife, Sharon was not convinced about building a passive house but we visited 2 completed Certified Passive Houses and her confidence was built up.

Cyril suggested some design changes, and in consultation with the architect and ourselves, removed some features that were unnecessary, this saved us money and improved the layout and performance of the house. A strict deadline was in place for the completion, and this was met, there are no settlement cracks worth mentioning.

The temperature in the house is even throughout day and night. The comfort levels are such that I can say we will never live in anything put a passive house for the rest of our days.”

“I felt very strongly that I didn’t want to live in a draughty house. At the tender stage, Mannion Passive House Builders had been recommended to us and they won the job due to their energy efficiency expertise. Cyril and his team were a pleasure to have around and their reliability was just fantastic.

MHRV is like an invisible pair of lungs for the house, there is no noise and there is very little dust, even immediately after we moved in, people said we would be hoovering up dust for years, that usual level of dust did not happen.

There was no drama with our foreman, Mark, I believe people don’t do their best work if there is tension, there was always a nice atmosphere on site. There were no serious issues, the house is fabulously finished, it is everything we expected and more, there have been no issues, we haven’t had to call them back.”

“The reliability and quality of the work Mannion Passive House Builders delivered was exceptional. The standard of finish they achieved was down to careful consideration and planning on how all surfaces were to meet. Cyril had an excellent team of tradesmen and was able to spot issues ahead of time, the result is a seamless look far exceeding my expectations.

I also found Mannion Passive House Builders were very fair on cost, there was no playing games, this is very unusual in my experience. The only cost deviations arose where we made changes as the project progressed and the keys to the house were delivered the week they were scheduled.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Mannion Passive House Builders, Cyril’s integrity is second to none, if I was to build another house I wouldn’t even go to tender, I would just give the contract to Cyril”

“From the outset, I wanted to build a passive house and thoroughly researched the options, even exploring possibly shipping a kit house from Germany. I met Cyril and felt he was very responsive and had great ideas, there were no other building contractors under consideration for this project.

“When looking for a builder we asked around and found that Cyril had a very good reputation in the trade. On initial contact I found him to be very enthusiastic, informative and co-operative even prior to tender. His tender was also very competitive and his proven experience and knowledge of passive and low-energy building led us to hire Mannion Passive House Builders.

It has turned out to be a very good decision. Cyril and his colleagues have proven excellent to work with. There will always be some issues on a project of this size but they were dealt with quickly, thus preventing them from becoming major problems.
