​Sinéad is an architectural conservation and heritage consultant who has gained a wealth of experience over the past two decades. She joined Carrig as Head of Conservation in June 2019 from her own practice which she established in 2001.

As a competent professional with an in-depth understanding of traditional building technology and the unique conservation needs of Ireland’s built heritage, Sinéad enjoys guiding clients in the repair and rehabilitation of their historic properties and helps them navigate the planning process in relation to protected structures.

In line with international best practice, Sinéad produces specialist building reports including condition assessments, conservation method statements, architectural inventories and appraisals, architectural heritage impact assessments, and building histories.

Sinéad has managed numerous projects for public authority clients including countywide surveys of industrial heritage, thatched structures, graveyards, urban and rural inventories, and character assessments for Architectural Conservation Areas. She has assessed conservation projects for local authority grant schemes and has produced many Section 57 Declarations over the years.
