We're celebrating our Sesquicentennial (150th); a great achievement for an apprentice Architect who then became an Engineer and later found his true vocation as a mere Quantity Surveyor.
During 2008 we have experienced unprecedented turmoil in the global financial markets; a crisis in the banking sectors; significant weakening in economic performance and a total erosion of confidence all leading to a changed landscape for the Construction and Property Industry.
Irelands leading construction consultancy firm Davis Langdon PKS (DLPKS) has warned that the current underspend in the Capital Investment Programme may have serious consequences on the construction industry for the future should the trends continue.
The Outlook for Property & Construction in 2010 Seminar took place on Thursday 12th November at the Conrad Hotel. It was attended by a number of key players in the Irish property market including developers, bankers and others directly involved. The seminar examined the current state of the Industry, recent budget implications and the Outlook for Property and Construction both in Ireland and Internationally.
