Economic Strength<\/strong><\/p>\n

With current annual output valued in excess of \u20ac29 billion (over 6% of GDP) and employing about 160,000 people (6.4% of total employment) the construction sector is a vital component of the Irish economy. The sector provides the necessary infrastructure required to sustain Ireland\u2019s economic growth and competitiveness and to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). According to a recent EY Economic Advisory report, the value of Irish construction output is projected to reach \u20ac35.2 billion in 2024.<\/p>\n

Although the Irish construction industry is undergoing a steady recovery following subdued activity in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it faces significant challenges, such as rising materials costs, skills shortages and difficulties in planning and public sector procurement, if it is to deliver the 35,000 housing units that are required annually and the \u20ac116 billion investment in necessary infrastructure envisaged under the Government\u2019s Project Ireland 2024 programme to drive economic growth.<\/p>\n

Innovation<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to design and construct the sustainable buildings and infrastructure required by a growing population and to help businesses adapt to the challenges of the unfolding fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), the construction industry throughout Ireland needs to rapidly adopt innovative technologies and techniques. However, there is concern that the industry is not evolving fast enough to meet these changing needs.<\/p>\n

Co-located Events<\/strong><\/p>\n
