The proof is in the portfolio.

Twenty years of completed builds across every Irish county. Here's a taste. The full archive lives in our portfolio.

The process

From first call to keys in hand.

Four stages, each with a fixed fee paid only when that stage is done. No deposits sunk on work you haven't seen, no spiralling invoices, no vague hourly billing.

01

Free consultation

We come to your site, your house or your business. No fee, no obligation. You walk away knowing exactly what you can build and what it will cost.

02

Concept & design

First sketches and 3D visuals. We iterate until the design is exactly what you want. Then we lock the fee, in writing, before we go any further.

03

Planning permission

Drawings, application paperwork, council liaison, public notices, the lot. Three hundred plus successful applications says we know what we're doing.

04

Construction & handover

Technical drawings, Bill of Quantities, builder selection support, on-site project management. We hand you the keys when the job is done right.

The person behind the firm

Meet Ian Daniel.

With Danarch, there's no account manager, no handover, no being passed around. The person who walks your site is the person who draws your plans and the person who deals with the council. For twenty years, that person has been Ian Daniel.

He started Danarch in 2005 and has guided hundreds of Irish projects through design, planning and construction since. The fixed-fee model the firm is known for was his decision, and his reasoning was simple. A client should never be punished with a bigger bill just because their project got bigger.

About Ian Daniel
Client voices

Twenty years of word-of-mouth.

Ian and his team took a confusing site and turned it into a clear, buildable home design. The fixed-fee structure meant we always knew where we stood with costs. Planning came through first time.

We've used Danarch for three commercial fit-outs now. Every planning application has been approved without amendments. They know how Irish councils think, which saves us months on every project.

The 3D visualisations changed how we made decisions on our extension. Seeing the space before any work started meant zero surprises and a build that matched the brief exactly.

Common questions

Asked & answered.

The questions Ian gets asked most often, addressed honestly. Don't see yours? Drop us a line.

No. Most architectural firms charge a percentage of your total project value, which means the bigger your build, the bigger their bill. We charge fixed fees agreed upfront, paid at clear stages. You always know what you're paying for and what comes next.
