It's an upmarket steel

STEEL yourself: the launch of trading-up homes priced at €655,000 brings the steel-frame house building market to new levels.

Word of mouth alone has shifted the first half of 57 large homes being built by Fleming Construction at Waterfall, just west of Cork city.

Sheer lack of trading-up house options in the affluent western suburbs of the city has seen house-hunters beat an early path to the doors of Heatherfields, already at an advanced stage of construction.
