About Us
About KGSS
KGSS is the leading Survey Company in the West of Ireland led by Managing Director, Dave McDonnell and Operations manager Kevin Dodd who are both professional Geomatic Surveyors with experience from surveying nationally and Internationally. We have an enthusiastic & hard working team delivering state of the art services designed for the current market demands.
The roots of the company goes back to the 1980’s when Robert Kilkelly & Associates was set up in Westport. RK&A was a civil engineering and architectural firm providing Topographical services for over 27 years. Services included design and build, energy Solutions and project management for both domestic and commercial market
Kilkelly Geo-Spatial Solutions (KGSS) was a venture created in 2015 with Robert’s son Daire the driving force behind it. KGSS took over all Land Surveying and Setting out responsibilities from RK&A along with the addition of many new geo-spatial services. Daire grew the company for 4 years delivering some major projects to prestigious clients and employing additional globally experienced surveyors. Daires time in France beckoned him back there in 2019 but not before he had left the company in good hands to take it on to the next stage in its development.

Testimonials
“We have found KGSS to be very accommodating in creating surveys adapted to our requirements as Architects. We have found their survey work to be accurate and all elements on their surveys clearly described. KGSS have worked with us to create new types of surveys adapted to 3D Modelling and BIM including Point Cloud scans and full Revit Models. They have a positive and can-do attitude to survey work. I would have no hesitation recommending KGSS for architectural surveys."
