Just for anyone might find it helpful, this is how I have measured the garden size:

You could open the site plan PDF with the Adobe Acrobat reader , then in tools / select measure / select snap type to measure (distance or area)

click on anywhere in the pdf to start measuring then (mouse right click) and select Change scale Ratio and precision



enter Scale Ratio : 1 mm = 250 mm

or 1 mm = 50 depend on which file you use (site plan or house type floor plan pdf).

scale of the site plan PDF is 1:250
scale of the floor plan pdfs is 1:50

you can then literally measure distance or area of anything on the map, including gardens, house space, walls, streets,driveway, etc.

This way is depend on accuracy of site plan/floor plan provided which I believe it should be at least near real figures.



Also:

you can measure how far your house will be from the side of the development and from Kiltipper road then estimate your house location in compare to the nearest flood light using google earth or ESRI map

Hi All,

Just a quick update, Drove by Saturday evening. Seems like they are flying along with the builds. I can't attach image I took as I am a new user.
Has anyone found out the size of the gardens?

Thanks

Thanks GarrethOR for the update, please see my post above about how to calculate garden size.



From the logo on the houses they are using prefabricated timber frame from IJM https://ijmtimberframe.com/ which is a way faster than traditional building techniques so hopefully they should be able to deliver on schedule.

@blackswanie - this worked so well. Measurements equated to almost exactly the area quoted on the floor plans. Really useful exercise. We were pleasantly surprised by some measurements whereas other spaces were a little smaller than we had anticipated. But overall happy with everything. Thanks again.

You are welcome, I have created a group on FB, it might be easier to discuss and share photos there (search for greenwaykiltipper).

Does anyone know what going on over the far side of the road? Think its directly across from the astro. Construction gates up, diggers and lots of muck 🀔 couldnt see any planning lodged on the sdcc website

Not sure about this one. I've a friend who's very involved in Thomas Davis so I'll try and get some info.

It's a new full sized pitch for Thomas Davis. They had a pitch where Greenway is being built now which is popping across the road! The new estate is in a nice spot (we're up the road in Marlfield) and the walk through Kiltipper Park and up to the reservoir is really nice. Good to be able to go from built up to nature so quickly.

For info, our kids are in St Maelruans primary in Old Bawn and are happy there. Both are in Thomas Davis (it's a great setup) and little fella (6) is in the Tallaght Rugby Club academy which is just down the road on the Firhouse Road.

Thanks

Hi everyone hope everybody is keeping well. I spoke to Paul on Monday and he noted all phase 1 contracts have now been signed and returned. He didn't have any update on phase 2 or the brochure however. Has anyone else been in contact with him or heard any different? I believe the builder was putting a bit of pressure on them to get contracts back etc. Building progress looks like it's progressing well!

No updates here either other than that the building is progressing well, aided by the nice weather! First dozen or so houses are now up and bases being completed for the next terrace. Wonders of timber frame construction!

Simon

Off topic, but the little cafe at the end of the lane that forms part of Kiltipper Woods Care Centre is open to the public and does an impressive breakfast for a fiver and lovely coffee. Plus amazing lunches and desserts. The strawberry gateau is to die for.

Its a good thing I don't live as close as you will be.

Hunterwise54

Hi All, Its been awhile since I posted. Just wondering if anyone has heard anymore on when phase 2 is launching and if the expected completion date for phase 1 is still Jan 2022?

I believe there is a couple of issues with phase 1 measurements and the bathroom/kitchen crowd not playing ball. Hoping for a bit of reassurance that things are going to plan still. Planning on buying from the drawings that were made available so hope nothing too much is changing.

Hope everyone is enjoying the great weather!! This time next year hopefully in our new back gardens 😁

haven't heard anything on phase 2 or completion date of phase 1 but was under the impression it was March 2022?? The measurements have us worried too because they aren't giving out exact measurements any more and from being up there the gardens on the 3 beds look a lot smaller than we were advised at first. Really hope we aren't doing to be ripped off now, paying enough as it is!! The kitchen place aren't replying to anyone and the bathroom place aren't doing it anymore apparently?!

Hunterwise54

I passed by myself the other day but still hard to make out the sizes. Whats the m2 they orginally gave for the back garden? I would have assumed going by other newbuilds they would have been around 90m2. Is anyone pushing on the brochure from Paul? I agree they are not cheap so they need to be upfront of what the exact measurements are. Im sure they know this when building has already commenced. The builders know what measurements they are working to.

Hard to believe both the kitchen/bathroom place are being awkward when its a big enough contract for both.

Maybe with enough pressure on Paul he will get the details clarified.

Most of back garden size is 77 m2 or above, you can get any measurement using the plans provided and acrobat reader

Hunterwise54

Thanks I'll try that. Does 77m2 not seem very small? Considering the 3 beds are about 118m2 the back garden size is nearly at the smallest it could be.

blackswanie

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117686973#Comment_117686973

yeah however not the minimum, I have seen back garden inside Dublin around 66 M2

amor3

Has anyone heard anything at all?

I'm registered for phase 2 but information is very slow coming!

Hunterwise54

Hi Amor3

Have not heard anything on phase 2. Have you got any information? Presume it will be this year. They seem to be flying with the building at the moment.

amor3

Nothing at all apart from that I am registered and will be informed when they have a date for phase 2. They still have no brochure. Phase 1 is house no. 1-23

They seem to be on house no. 18 or 19 from what I can make out. I'm gonna to walk by in the next few days and take a couple of photos.. the front row seem really close to the kiltipper rd and from the plans I thought that road had a front garden!

Hunterwise54

I thought phase 1 was unit 1-26? It would be odd to leave 3 units off that row as phase 2.

I thought that myself, the driveways seem to be small enough lenghtwise. Wont be much space between the Kiltipper road and the house front. Where unit 18/19 is, also seems very narrow to fit a driveway and a road to the front of the house. Maybe it will look different when everything is finished but hard to picture now.

SimonMaher

I see the scaffolding has gone up for the "corner" house facing out on to Kiltipper Road which means a lot of Phase 1 is now in place. Lots of foundation and pipework sets done too for the next row. It's still surprisingly difficult to picture it completed - they really are making use of every square foot of space!

Has anyone heard anything recently from Formation or the EA? I emailed him on Friday for an update but nothing at all back so far regarding Phase 2, brochures, plans or most importantly - prices!

Simon

amor3

Nothing at all since the 19th of August. And that was to say he still had no information !

Has anyone from phase 1 heard anything??

amor3

Was onto Paul again today, still nothing and he is not very pleasant with his emails.. just a basic "no update" really..

In the meantime, I've had 2 emails after that today about viewings for others houses i had registered interest in!

Hunterwise54

Could be another few weeks or months. Phase 1 was only meant to be 1-15 according to the advertisimg boards but they included more houses so phase 2 could be another while.

Yes I see viewings are popping up for a few places, Graydon in Newcastle have showhouses this Saturday and the new development in Kilcarberry are launching the end of the month.

amor3

Yeah Graydon was one of the emails I got, I replied with an appointment request with 4 minutes of getting the email and got a reply today that all appointments are gone and I'll be contacted on the next release, when I asked about what sort of time frame that could be, I was told spring 22.

blackswanie

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117896846#Comment_117896846

they are now finishing the show houses, I don't know exactly when phase 2 might be released, but I would say it will not until show houses is finished. so maybe after 1 month or so.

dmn

It looks like phase 2 is now advertised… https://www.daft.ie/new-home-for-sale/greenway-kiltipper-dublin-24-greenway-kiltipper-co-limerick/3575556

Ciara26

Any idea on the price for 2 bed?

blackswanie

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118119756#Comment_118119756

Heey, 2 beds will be in the last (third) phase, so I would say it will be maybe around 1 year before they start release them, it's hard to guess/expect prices for them at the moment.

Ninghao

Hey guys I am a new member and I have paid the deposit for a 4 bed detached. It is 525k. Anyone has any idea because It is quite strange because nowadays it seems that properties which haven't been built can be sold. Also, I want to know more details about the property but no way. hahaha. Hope we can meet next year!!!

Ninghao

And I also want to ask about the surrounding of the estate. I am new in Dublin.......

Hunterwise54

Hi Ninghao, congrats on the house. Did you purchase unit 27 from phase 2? I think 1-26 are phase 1. Yes you can buy properties from the plans before they are built, usually the case with new builds. The surrounding area is nice, good transport and near lots of schools and shops.

Ninghao

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118152401#Comment_118152401

Hey! I got No.26. So from your meaning 26 should be earlier than 27 because it is phase 1 right? Also is there any update about the finish date? I don't want to wait so long.....

blackswanie

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118152886#Comment_118152886

Congratulation, the tentative completion date that we have been told is Q1 2022

Hi Ninghao congrats on the purchase do you know much about the area why did you end up buying up here? Are you planning on living in the area or renting out? Thanks.

Ria_12345

Hi,

Has anyone heard anything more on this development please? Is phase 1 fully completed?

Many thanks

dmn

Hi. Phase 1 is not completed yet but is progressing very well. Looks like it’s just driveways and some finishing touches needed for some of phase 1.

amor3

Had a walk by this evening.. it seems like it is taking forever!! And the front row heading out onto the main road, garden/driveway is pretty tight as far as I can see!

amor3

Ria_12345

Hi, any more update on the above development please?

blackswanie

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118560603#Comment_118560603

Phase one is due to complete within few weeks, constructions also is started for phase 2 units, better to contact GVM if you are interesting in phase 2.

Ria_12345

Hi,

Do you know what's the story with flooring in this development please? Do you have to lay your own flooring?

Many thanks

blackswanie

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118578780#Comment_118578780

typically you will have to do it on you own.

Ria_12345

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all well. Do you guys have any update on phase 1 please if completed?This will give an idea on when phase 2 will be coming?

Thanks folks.

Ria_12345

Hi,

Sorry to bother you again. Just wondering if you have any update on phase 1 please if completed? This will give an idea on when phase 2 will be coming.

Many thanks
