McFadden Civils began operating in the late 1970s, with founder Desmond McFadden purchasing his first digger in 1977. The business quickly developed a reputation for reliability, expanding through the 1980s and 1990s to take on NI Water contracts, road-service works, industrial-estate developments, and major earth-moving projects. Incorporated as a limited company in 1992, the business weathered the 2007-08 financial crisis, with Des's sons Shane and Emmett McFadden taking leadership and rebuilding the company.
Today, McFadden Civils continues to grow sustainably, balancing subcontract and main contract work while maintaining family values. The company has delivered hundreds of projects across Ireland and the UK, spanning highways, utilities, industrial yards, public realm works, and energy developments of every scale and complexity. From GAA pitches in the 1980s to watermains in Cork City, wind farms across Scotland, and large infrastructure schemes from Aberdeen to Sunderland Bridge today, McFadden Civils has a proven track record of excellence.
The company is committed to providing clients with an efficient, economical, and quality-assured service. They build relationships through excellence, valuing safety, integrity, and craftsmanship. McFadden Civils is now looking to the fourth generation, with Shane's daughter Cara McFadden already contributing to the business, demonstrating a long-term commitment to family values and sustainable growth.
