Home builder Cairn Homes has said that build cost inflation was significant during 2022 with the cost of building its homes increasing by about €20,000 per new unit.

In a trading update for the year to the end of December, Cairn Homes said that inflation persisted into the second half of 2022 - but at more moderate levels.

With this level of performance, Cairn Homes said it is comfortable with its existing 2022 profitability guidance of 21.5% gross margin, €100m operating profit and a 16.5% operating margin. In 2022, Cairn was one of the largest providers of new social and affordable housing in Ireland as it delivered almost 500 A-rated homes, including a substantial number of apartments in its larger developments.

Cairn said it is starting 2023 with its largest ever forward sales pipeline of over 1,100 new homes and said it was confident of making further financial progress in the year ahead. Mr Stanley said that looking at the wider market, Ireland has increased its working population by 500,000 to over 2.5 million people in the last six years.

Internal report: LDA pays more to build affordable homes than EU neighboursThe state is paying up to €138k more to build a home than other European countries building similar affordable housing, a confidential LDA report has shown The report has been seen by the Business Post, but hasn't been shared with the Housing Department Bring in developers from them countries, workers & pay wages at the level of them countries, import all material as well. Just don’t use local labour, material, contractors 🤷‍♂️ When you have a useless government this is what happens, it’s the same with the health service and look at what a mess that is in. That's because it isn't 'building'. It's buying from developers. Lots of people making a profit, when all that is needed is direct labour, materials (which the State can get cheaper due to its massive purchasing power), and land (which the State owns shitloads of).

Irish need not apply. That councillor is right. Foreigners, whether their refugees or not get priority over every single thing these days. Shocking discrimination against our own people in their own country. All part of the Plantation IrelandisFull Ballymun
