In Ireland, the weight falls heavily on our construction industry to not only deliver on ambitious plans set out in Project Ireland 2040 but to achieve this in the most sustainable way to help ensure Ireland meets its path to net-zero emissions. The sector is currently facing significant challenges around rising input cost, capacity & production, talent and the adoption of technology.
Despite these challenges, the sector has proven time and time again its resilience and capacity to change. Our Construction 2030 Report, with insights and opinions from some of the world’s leading engineering and construction minds, explores how embedding ESG, managing risks and adopting technologies can pave the way forward for the industry.
