Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion
Mr. Owen Keegan:
We would be happier if there was more competitive tension in that regard. However, they are very complex projects. If many developers have other work, they find our work less attractive. We are still effectively working on a fixed-price contract system with some allowance for inflation. It does not include a price variation clause. It is not a particularly attractive environment for a contractor to be working for us at the moment. We are seeing a lack of competitive tension.
