Case Study 6:

Prop – A Housing and Commercial Developer

Designing housing strategies to support long-term community growth.

Strategic Background

Prop is a forward-focused developer working across large-scale housing and mixed-use commercial projects in Ireland. With a vision for high-quality, energy-efficient development, Prop partnered with Brady Hughes Consulting to support the planning, engineering, and delivery of several strategically located sites. These developments aimed to meet growing demand while contributing to sustainable urban regeneration.

Across multiple locations, Prop’s projects required navigating complex land use constraints, aligning with local development plans, and delivering real value to both future residents and the surrounding communities.

Planning & Collaboration

From early-stage planning to post-construction review, collaboration played a central role. Brady Hughes Consulting coordinated closely with Prop, regulatory bodies, construction teams, and design partners to ensure each project aligned with development objectives and planning frameworks.

Key partners included:

  • Local authorities for zoning and compliance alignment

  • Contractors and suppliers executing project delivery

  • Internal design teams ensuring residential and commercial harmony

Regular engagement with local stakeholders ensured transparency and responsiveness throughout the lifecycle of each site.
