Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency
Mr. John Coleman:
Our objective is to get to a scale where there will be a long visibility into our pipeline. Since we started, we have developed or designed multiple schemes with multiple architects. More recently, we have standardised our approach to design. Although the properties might look different from location to location as there can be different facades or skins, in essence, the fundamental fabric of the homes, apartment blocks or other properties are the same underneath the skin. That means modular providers would be able to influence our design in order that what we have designed and will build will be done in such a way that it facilitates their methodology of construction, which could yield a much larger modular homes industry in Ireland. That is a longer-term ambition but we have a role to play in that regard.
