Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Construction Costs in Housing: Discussion

Mr. Eddie Taaffe:

It is early days yet. We are only starting to see it come through and verified costs come in, if the Deputy knows what I mean, and what those agreements are likely to pan out at. It is early days in that regard. As for the opportunities to reduce costs, we need to use modern methods of construction more and greater off-site fabrication because of the productivity and the certainty around that. That is in Housing for All, and we in the HDCO and the Department are working on it.
