A new report published by Turner & Townsend<\/a> reveals that Ireland\u2019s construction market remains resilient, with strong activity levels supported by housing delivery and public sector investment, but faces growing pressure from rising costs, intensifying competition, and geopolitical uncertainty<\/h2>\n

Housing continues to underpin the Irish construction market, accounting for approximately 62% of activity, with public housing outperforming private delivery.<\/p>\n

Contractors remain highly utilised, and near-term pipelines are supporting stable output through 2026, highlighting the sector\u2019s ability to sustain delivery<\/a> despite a more complex operating environment.<\/p>\n

A growing imbalance between supply and demand<\/h3>\n

However, Irish construction market conditions have become more competitive, with 76.9% of contractors describing tendering as \u2018lukewarm\u2019 and 30.8% identifying a \u2018cooling\u2019 market.<\/p>\n

This reflects a growing imbalance between supply and demand, as more contractors compete for a limited pool of projects, placing sustained pressure on pricing and margins.<\/p>\n

Cost pressures are re-emerging in the Irish construction market<\/h3>\n

At the same time, cost pressures are re-emerging, driven in part by global supply chain disruption linked to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

These factors include rising energy and transport costs, reduced supplier willingness to fix prices, and material price increases of 8%\u201325% across the sector.<\/p>\n

Key materials including reinforcement bar (14.7%), structural steel (13.0%), and concrete (10.9%) are forecast to rise sharply.<\/p>\n

Labour cost growth<\/a> of approximately 3\u20134% continues to add further pressure, widening the gap between tender pricing and underlying input costs, and increasing the risk of margin erosion.<\/p>\n

Collaborative risk management in a volatile environment<\/h3>\n

Looking ahead, while order book coverage remains strong at around 78% for 2026, it is expected to decline to approximately 55% in 2027, signalling weaker pipeline visibility and the potential for increased competition in the medium term.<\/p>\n

In response, clients and contractors are increasingly adopting more collaborative, risk-managed approaches to procurement and delivery to improve cost certainty in a more volatile environment.<\/p>\n

Bryn Griffiths, head of cost management for Ireland at Turner & Townsend, said: \u201cThe Irish construction market is showing strong resilience, particularly with the continued focus on housing delivery and public sector investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, global uncertainty \u2013 particularly the ongoing geopolitical situation in the Middle East \u2013 is beginning to feed through into the market, driving cost volatility and supply chain disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded: \u201cCombined with increasing competition and a weakening forward pipeline, this is creating a more challenging environment, where early engagement, collaboration and proactive risk management will be critical to sustaining delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n
