96th EUROCONSTRUCT Conference

EY Ireland, as the Irish member of EUROCONSTRUCT, was delighted to host the 96th EUROCONSTRUCT conference on 1 December in our Dublin offices.

The conference presented the latest medium-term macroeconomics and construction market outturn for 2022, an estimate for 2023 and projections for 2024 and 2025, together with the first set of projections for 2026.

The special theme of the conference was the examination of key issues relating to progress on the adoption of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and digital technologies and innovation across Europe. We had excellent guest speakers, Mark Farmer (Cast Consultancy) and Lars Christian Fredenlund (Cobuilder), who offered excellent insight into this very relevant topic. Our panel discussion also delved into how to build a successful MMC industry, and comprised of Sarah-Jane Pisciotti (SISK), Helena Lidelöw (Volumetric Building Companies), John Hunt (Enterprise Ireland) and Paul Tierney (MMC Ireland).

The EUROCONSTRUCT Reports are detailed and comprehensive European construct market trends and forecasts.
