Galway-based MMC Eco Homes is redefining affordable and sustainable housing across Europe with fast and cost-effective construction.

Expanding across Ireland, the UK, Sweden, and Lithuania, MMC Eco Homes is making eco-friendly living not only attainable but accessible for families and self-builders.

At the core of MMC Eco Homes’ innovation is a pioneering approach to construction that prioritises sustainability, energy efficiency, and time-efficiency.

The company’s high-quality Structurally Insulated Panel (SIPs) homes have achieved impressive results—each build can secure an outstanding net carbon emissions of -41.40 KgCO2/Year (a typical new build is +1715 KgCO2/ Year), significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the housing sector.

MMC EcoHomes can achieve Net Zero Carbon, and produce more energy than they use.

Residents of MMC Eco Homes experience the true benefits of eco-friendly living. In Renmore, Galway, teachers Padraic and Danielle Hickey and their two children enjoy a cosy, affordable home that aligns with their values of sustainability and comfort.

“Our energy costs will have dropped by more than 50%,” says Danielle. “It’s a home that grows with us—it’s not just about saving on bills, it’s about creating a space that reflects our values.”

Similarly, Michael Clancy, a quantity surveyor from Glann shared how his decision to choose MMC Eco Homes for his family home changed his outlook on construction.

“When I first received planning permission, I was set on traditional blockwork for our build. A SIPs house wasn’t something I immediately considered, but after a site visit, I was truly impressed by the high quality of the houses,” Michael recalls.

“The quality was exceptional, and that day, my wife and I decided to go with MMC Eco Homes. Their attention to detail and the craftsmanship was a game-changer.”

In addition to superior quality, time-efficiency was a key factor for Michael. “When I was in college, we were told that every build is a balancing act of time, quality, and cost,” he says.

“With two small kids and a full-time career, I needed to consider all three, and MMC Eco Homes made it possible. Their approach to construction made it all work—great quality, fast build time, and the best value for our investment.”

MMC Eco Homes boasts an impressive construction timeline, with some homes being completed in as little as four months.

This makes the company an ideal choice for those seeking a quicker, more efficient alternative to traditional building methods, without compromising on quality.

Ciaran Walshe, CEO of MMC Eco Homes, explains, “Our mission is to lead Ireland’s transition to sustainable living through affordable, high-quality housing solutions.”

“By integrating innovative building techniques with high-performance materials, we’re offering real solutions to the housing crisis while tackling environmental challenges.”

With an external cost envelope of €850 per square meter (excluding façade), MMC Eco Homes is offering unmatched value in the housing market.

Whether you’re a family looking to build your forever home or a developer interested in a sustainable project, MMC Eco Homes delivers high-quality, cost-efficient homes designed for longevity and energy savings.

The company’s commitment to quality and sustainability has been confirmed by tradespeople involved in the builds.

“I’ve worked with timber frames for years, but I’ve never seen something like this of such high quality,” says Michael’s scaffolder. “It’s exceptional.”

With MMC Eco Homes, sustainable living is no longer a distant goal—it’s here, it’s affordable, and it’s built to last. The company is dedicated to bringing sustainable housing to more families across Ireland and beyond.
