Who's building in Westmeath
Co. Westmeath finished 740 new homes in 2025: 455 scheme houses (61%), 155 one-off houses (21%) and 130 apartments (18%), and 449 more from January to September 2026. It's 12th of the 26 counties for new homes.
Estates mean the same floor, house after house. A rate per m² for a phase of houses depends on the access between them, how many houses are ready on the day, and whether the pump can stay set up for the whole run.
Commercial and farm floors in Westmeath
The CSO counted 1,528 construction businesses in Co. Westmeath in 2024, and Census of Agriculture counts 3,437 farms. Commercial units, schools and offices need a screed to a stated strength and flatness class; farm buildings need floors that take machines and wash-down. See commercial floor screeding and industrial and farm floors.
Winter and the programme in Westmeath
Mullingar has about 2,162 heating degree days a year, our calculation from Met Éireann's 1991 to 2020 averages: colder than the middle of the 26 counties (3rd coldest). Screed dries by warmth and air movement, so a winter pour in a cold building needs heat and ventilation planned into the programme.
As a guide in good conditions: sand and cement about a day per mm to 50 mm, then 2 days per mm, so 65 mm takes about 80 days; liquid screed 1 mm a day to 40 mm, then 2 days per mm. See drying and the programme.
Radon under ground floors in Westmeath
8% of the 965 homes the EPA has measured in Co. Westmeath were at or above the radon reference level (16th of 26; 14% nationally). In a High Radon Area the radon membrane has been required under new buildings since 1 July 1998. It goes under the floor build-up, so it's in and checked before the insulation and the screed.

Screeding is priced per m² from your drawings: the area, the depth, the screed, access, the programme and what's included. Send the job and you get a written rate.
Can you price a housing development in Westmeath from drawings?
Yes. Send the house types, the floor areas, the screed and the programme. The rate comes back per m², for the phase.
How long before a Westmeath screed can take the floor finish?
