Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Colm Ward:
-----we are working to a standard that should be much better than that and our optimal time is around 20 weeks which is what we aim to get back to. We have frameworks in place. There have been challenges with costs of construction in that we were asked to go and retender those but we will expand the number of contractors we have on call and reduce the areas to smaller geographical areas to maximise what the contractors can do for us. There are significant challenges with contractor capacity.
