History

  Prior to establishing Waldron Dispute Resolution, Martin ran a successful Quantity Surveying Practice, overseeing the construction of over €200m worth of projects from 2004 until 2010. With the collapse of the construction industry Martin was forced to cease trading and decided to put his 16 years of experience at the highest level in the industry to use in dispute resolution.

Martin started out his professional career as a builders Quantity Surveyor working with Bennett (Construction) Limited and Willow Park Construction Limited. In both companies he was Senior QS and oversaw the construction of some of the most prestigious buildings completed of their time; namely the renovation of Stack A in Custom House Quay into the now impressive CHQ, the construction of the new State Agricultural Laboratories, recognised as one of the most advanced facilities of it’s kind in the world, the demolition of the old Dalkey Island Hotel and the construction of the Coliemore Apartments which were the most luxurious apartments ever built in Dublin at the time. He also oversaw the construction of many more projects including industrial, commercial, residential and educational.

He also started his own development company in 1998 and despite the collapse in the industry has managed to keep this venture not only afloat but profitable; he attributes this to diligent feasibility studies and never getting carried away during the boom years.
