The proposal

Dublin launches now.
Production stays in Poland.

Once the partner commits, we establish local management, a showroom, marketing and the first projects in Dublin. The manufacturer brings the building system and production capacity.

Poland

Product and production

  • Building system, technology and documentation
  • Series production, capacity and factory quality control
  • Product adaptation to Irish requirements and warranty support
Ireland

Market and delivery

  • Local branch, sales, marketing and customer service
  • Property qualification and a network of technical specialists
  • Transport, installation and after-sales coordination

Shared goal: an Irish brand and sales operation, powered by Polish production.

Why now

A new category.
A defined market window.

Class 3A can exempt qualifying sites from a standard planning permission application. Building Regulations and Building Control still apply.

End of the current window

The advantage goes to a system designed for Irish requirements from the very first unit.

Modern timber garden home with full-height glazing
An Irish market.
A product ready for it.
Demand

One garden.
Four reasons to buy.

Customers buy a second home on their own site. The strongest use cases combine closeness to family with the privacy of a full, self-contained dwelling.

01

Parents close to family

A separate dwelling on the same property, with privacy, support nearby and no subdivision.

02

Adult children

An independent home beside the family house in a tight housing market.

03

Carer or support

Accommodation for a carer within a single property, with dignity and privacy.

04

Long-term letting

Potential rental income within current tax and legal restrictions. Short-term letting is not permitted under Class 3A.

Current Rent-a-Room Relief does not cover a detached unit not connected to the main house. Rental use remains subject to applicable tax and legal restrictions.

The product

Three models.
One technical platform.

A focused range makes it easier to start selling, quote consistently and service the product.

A defined sequence takes the manufacturer's system towards Irish delivery. The detailed solutions, partners and checklists sit in the NDA playbook.

Financial model

Partner capital funds
the launch and first projects.

The base budget covers the Dublin operation, showroom, marketing, local management and the pilot.

Transport, ferry and unloading.

03 · Local works

Installation

Foundation, utilities and installation.

04 · Compliance

Grants assumed in the base model
€0

The launch is funded by the partner. Any awarded support improves the result.

After the audit we build a joint model: launch budget, product price, Irish costs, risk buffer, margin and profit split. Amounts, rates and suppliers are shared under NDA.

Additional benefit

Local market access.
Competitive trading tax.

An Irish operating company combines access to customers with a 12.5% Corporation Tax rate on trading income.

12.5%

Trading income

Poland
19%

Standard CIT rate

Poland
9%

Preferential rate, subject to conditions

A new qualifying Irish company may receive Corporation Tax relief for its first five years of trading. Eligibility depends on factors including tax payable and PRSI contributions.

The comparison is with Poland's standard 19% rate. Ireland is not necessarily lower-tax than a Polish company eligible for the 9% rate. Company structure and eligibility require individual assessment.

Growth support

Three programmes.
Additional potential.

The partner funds the launch. These programmes may reduce hiring, investment and product-development costs if the company meets their criteria.

LEO Priming Grant
Up to €150k

Up to 50% of qualifying costs; awards above €80k are exceptional.

Potential fit

An initial team of 3–5, local adaptation and MMC assembly, plus a job-creation plan.

IDA Ireland
Case by case

Briefing examples: up to €150k for assets or €300k for a development programme.

Potential fit

A Polish manufacturer creates Irish jobs, invests locally and develops products or processes.

Built to Innovate
Up to €225k*

Projects up to €500k; up to 45% for small firms, up to 60% with qualifying collaboration.

Potential fit

At 10+ people, an Irish team can develop prototypes, MMC, Lean, digitalisation and R&D.

Built to Innovate: up to €300k with qualifying collaboration. IDA negotiates its main investment package case by case; the examples above are not a universal award limit.

Figures and programme routes are from the supplied investor briefing. Support is not guaranteed. Eligibility and the current terms must be confirmed before application; applications precede qualifying expenditure. The base model assumes €0 in grants.

Partnership structure

Clear roles.
Clear ownership.

A local operation with a defined division of responsibilities and assets.

The manufacturer retains
  • Ownership of the building system and technology
  • Control of production and quality
  • Agreed rights to the product brand
The Dublin operator retains
  • The local sales playbook
  • Market relationships and the lead base
  • Operational know-how for Ireland

Preferred route: an Irish operating company or exclusive distribution tied to measurable targets.

Terms negotiable
Manufacturer qualification

The right system.
The right partner.

We assess production readiness and the ability to build a lasting Irish operation together.

A system for 32–45 m²
A building system ready for series adaptation across the three planned sizes.
Complete documentation
Material and structural documentation sufficient for a meaningful technical audit.
Irish technical collaboration
Readiness to work with Irish designers and certifiers on product adaptation.
Transparent EXW costing
Clear factory pricing, reliable lead times and production commitments.
A funded pilot
Budget and team to prepare the first pilot projects.
Warranty and service
A warranty and after-sales standard that can be supported locally in Ireland.

Stage one ends with a decision: does the system have a realistic route to market, what changes are needed, and what does the pilot cost?

Next step

One decision opens
the route into Ireland.

Start with a conversation about your product, capacity and market ambition.
