About Us

A Partnership Approach That Sets Us Apart

For over two decades, Michael Barrett Partnership has stood as one of the South of Ireland’s most respected Quantity Surveying and Cost Consultancy practices. Our reputation has been built on long‑term relationships, repeat business, and a consistent commitment to delivering dependable, expert cost management for projects of every scale and complexity.

Since our establishment in 2000, we have grown into a strong and specialised team of 14 professionals. Our expertise spans the industrial, manufacturing, retail, commercial, leisure, healthcare, education, and civil engineering sectors, complemented by specialist knowledge in historic buildings and mechanical & electrical services. This breadth of experience allows us to bring seasoned judgment and practical insight to every project we manage.

We are proud to work with clients who have trusted us for many years — including government agencies, local authorities, schools, universities, hospital boards, developers, commercial corporations, and private owners. These long‑standing relationships are grounded in our commitment to service, reliability, and delivering genuine value.

At Michael Barrett Partnership, our partners remain closely involved in all work we undertake, ensuring every client benefits from both personal attention and the professional strength of a modern, forward‑thinking consultancy. Supported by advanced cost‑management and risk‑assessment software, along with extensive in‑house expertise, we provide clear, accurate guidance at every stage of the project lifecycle — from feasibility and procurement to cost control, valuation, and final account.

Our mission is simple: to manage costs with confidence, deliver clarity at every step, and uphold the standards that have earned us the trust of clients for more than 25 years. We are committed to ensuring every project we oversee is completed to the highest quality, on time, and within budget.
