AboutEst. 2025 · Dring, Co. Longford
Who we are
TCRD Engineering was set up in 2025 to solve a simple problem: contractors often need a good site engineer for a few weeks, and they need one now.
We supply engineers who have worked on real sites, read the drawings before they arrive, and stay until the job is done.
We are small on purpose. You deal with the same people from the first call to the last invoice.
Safety
Every engineer holds a valid Safe Pass, does your site induction and works to your safety plan.
Accuracy
We check every drawing before we set it out and check every point after. A mistake found at the peg costs nothing. A mistake found after the pour costs a lot.
Clear paperwork
Day rates agreed in writing, timesheets signed by your site every week, one clear invoice per site.
