Murphy’s Construction were one of the main subcontractors in the construction of the new Countdown Belfast Supermarket which opened to the public in September 2022.
The main supermarket is approximately 3450sqm with an additional 1700sqm area dedicated to the E-Store and an external footprint of 9,748sqm and was built to achieve a 4 stars Green Star Certification Rating under NZGBC.
Murphy’s Construction was tasked to complete all the formwork for this job including external footpaths and the installation of Canzac systems. Inside wall linings included a mix of Shadowclad, Hydopanel, Villaboard lined in tiles and reclaimed weathered Oak. Full pharmacy build inside the main store with feature walls using Imodi Oak. External feature wall using XpressClad to showcase the Countdown logo. Construction of all ply gutters, parapets and entrance canopy.
I have known Martin for the past 10 years having worked on multiple medium to large size commercial projects together. Martin went out on his own in 2020 and started to work with Watts and Hughes again from 2021. Since then Murphys Construction have been on multiple projects for me and no matter the size, complexity or tight time frame of a project they have always pulled through. Martin is always willing to help other trades at the same time to ensure the success of the project. A team player.
