Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Defective Block Scheme Regulations and Review of IS 465: Discussion

Ms Martina Hegarty:

We are talking about VAT, inflation and access to and availability of builders. Realistically, we are also talking about the type of rebuild people want. Prior to all that, there is planning permission and architect fees. It depends on the area or solution the homeowner decides is the most suitable. That will have a huge impact on the cost bundle available to the homeowner.
