Est. in 1963

We are a proud family-run business with over 60 years of construction expertise. Over the decades, we have evolved to combine traditional craftsmanship with specialist off-site manufacturing solutions.

From the early days of Gribbin Construction, established in 1963 by brothers Joe, Eamon, and Liam Gribbin, the business has grown into an innovative and dynamic construction company specialising in the design and build of bespoke timber-frame homes and off-site modular construction.

In 2000, Mark and Niall Gribbin became Directors of the company, now known as Setanta Construction. Since then, they have successfully grown the business, expanding into new markets and developing an extensive client base. They have also driven significant improvements, including investment in a purpose-built 30,000 sq. ft. factory and office facility on a 15-acre site at Ronan Valley Business Park, Magherafelt, to support the company's continued growth and future ambitions.

Built on Family Values

Core family values remain at the heart of everything we do. We’re fortunate to have a dedicated team of highly skilled, reliable tradespeople and construction professionals who consistently deliver exceptional projects that exceed client expectations.

Under the leadership of Mark and Niall, Setanta Construction has continued to thrive, building a reputation for quality, innovation, and excellence across every sector in which we operate.

We work collaboratively with architects, interior designers, developers, and private clients to deliver outstanding projects, combining expertise, craftsmanship, and a commitment to excellence at every stage.
