Perché i costruttori di piccole dimensioni non possono costruire in una crisi abitativa quando la domanda di case è in aumento?

They can’t get finance or planning permission, plus have higher overhead costs
Because they are too small to pay off the politicians
Until we have a planning system similar to the mainland European model where it is less adversarial and timelines are definite, we are going nowhere fast.
Alongside this we need infrastructure plans for each regional city which are long term and strategic and support development by having the necessary infrastructure in place prior to a developer trying to navigate whether there’s capacity in roads, water and energy at a point where it should be well known and allow investment to happen quicker.
We are too reactive in Ireland. Our energy and water infrastructure is running at 90-100%, European counterparts run plants consistently at 60-70%.
It is absolute madness, even when we try plan and build this infrastructure it is stymied in the same adversarial planning system that the houses are in, where large critical pieces of infrastructure can be stopped by the village idiot in the high court and ends up costing the state hundreds of millions due to tender price inflation because of delay.
We have a process fetish in Ireland, and totally miss the implementation part.
Its very expensive to build at the moment architects are a disaster constantly making changes and messing things up. labour is unfortunatly not what it used to be. People dont want to work hard in a job thats demanding. There are two many unskilled workers and contractors pretending to know what there doing and the compartmentalization of labour two many specialist that can only do one thing. No regulation or inspections to rangle out the cowboys the council should be doing this af all stages. Alot of red tape over engineering driving up prices to name but a few.
Many of them are subcontractors for the larger builders along with smaller individual projects.
And the labour isn’t there to build all the homes required due to the work being physically difficult with long-term physical difficulties and better pay and conditions available elsewhere.
Not enough plasterboard to build shitty houses.
