BAM Ireland is part of the UK and Ireland Division of the Royal BAM Group of the Netherlands.

Discover Easy Comfort with Pipelife Eco

With a global turnover of €605m, of which €507m was generated in Ireland, John Paul Construction performed strongly in 2022, delivering high-quality, complex projects across many sectors at home and abroad.

The company’s diversification strategy remains a crucial driver of growth. Having transitioned from being a traditional main contractor to being a highly agile operator with specialist expertise in a range of high-tech sectors, John Paul Construction now has projects in Ireland, the UK and the Middle East. In 2022, this sectoral and geographical diversity enabled it to continue to deliver on its margins whilst mitigating market risks, all against a backdrop of rising inflation and interest rates and with a war in Ukraine that is further disrupting the macroeconomic climate.

Key Successes

For Liam Kenny, Managing Director, John Paul Construction, the most meaningful progress that the company made in 2022 was the reduction in the accident frequency rate, thanks to the relentless application of its safety management system. He comments, “There is no greater achievement. To see such progress on our journey towards zero accidents and incidents is encouraging.”

John Paul Construction also made great strides in its Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) efforts. To further scale its push for a more inclusive workforce, it established a dedicated EDI committee to lead change. In 2022 those efforts were rewarded with Silver accreditation in the Investors in Diversity scheme, which recognises companies with a holistic approach to building a more inclusive, equitable and diverse organisation.

Completed Projects

In the past year, the company undertook multiple projects in the data centre (co-location and hyperscale), pharma/life sciences, industrial, healthcare, commercial, residential, and civil sectors. Varying widely in scale and complexity, these projects included the completion of a 110kV data centre substation in Dublin and a 16MW data centre in the UK, both for a global client.

Other projects completed include the new Radiation Oncology Centre in University Hospital Galway, providing treatment to patients across the region; and Walter Scott House, the new Garda Security and Crime Operations Centre in Dublin, which houses several Garda Bureaus and operational units. The company is also nearing completion of a 19,000-sq-metre bio-pharma facility in Co Meath.

Current Projects

The pipeline of projects already underway is healthy, with schemes that reflect the company’s diverse portfolio. Projects in Ireland include a significant 28,000-sq-metre MedTech facility in Kilkenny, a new admin lab building for a global pharmaceutical client in Limerick, a new 40,000-sq-metre commercial office building for Hibernia REG at Harcourt Square in Dublin, and the delivery of over 1,000 new residential apartments by the end of the year.
