Construction specialist Mac Zero Modular Buildings in Co Tyrone has in invested £1.2 million in the business to accelerate its future growth.
Founded by siblings Conor McAvoy and Orla McAvoy-Corr, the firm has embarked on an ambitious expansion plan, doubling its production space to over 50,000 sq ft across two sites.
Since 2021, Mac Zero has increased its workforce from 14 to 45 employees, with plans to create five additional roles in 2025.
The latest investment includes expanded factory capacity, a new modular office block, two electric forklifts, and key hires in design and technical, commercial management, and business development.
As part of its vision to deliver high-quality, future-proofed modular buildings across the UK and Ireland, Mac Zero has achieved BIM 19650-2 certification and secured new contracts in Britain, including a modular installation in Wembley and an educational project in north Wales.
Mac Zero has successfully completed over 40 projects for schools and commercial clients in the past three years.
Director Conor McAvoy said: “From commencing production back in June 2021, Orla and I are delighted with Mac Zero’s growth and with the level of projects we’ve delivered across Ireland and now in GB.
“Demand has fast-tracked our growth and this investment illustrates our confidence in the business and the role that modular construction will continue to play in the years ahead.”
Orla McAvoy-Corr added: “As we support educational institutions, organisations, and businesses across the UK and Ireland to ‘move to zero’, modern methods of construction (MMC) are proving invaluable.
“The outlook for 2025 is positive, with both public and private sectors increasingly recognizing MMC as a sustainable alternative to traditional construction.”
