As always, you might let me know if I have missed out on any relevant property news by emailing  carol@propertydistrict.ie.

(Apologies in advance for any typos, it’s difficult to get good help on a Sunday. Also, I use voice to text dictation so just sound out anything that really doesn’t make sense in a strong rural accent and that should help!)

CONSTRUCTION, MMC & DEVELOPMENT NEWS

MMC Ireland national conference 2023

*The more observant amongst you might have noticed that MMC is no longer in a separate category to construction (like Proptech and construction innovation below), it is now part of our weekly construction news update, which is appropriate given that offsite and other modern methods of construction are fast becoming more mainstream and are playing a more significant part in the overall construction conversation in Ireland right now.

 

  • MMC Ireland is the industry representative body for companies involved in the procurement, design and delivery – including component suppliers – of offsite and other modern methods of construction in Ireland and that organisation is driving innovation and collaboration across Ireland’s construction industry. You can learn more or sign up at: https://mmcireland.ie/

 

  • Also, the MMC Ireland National Conference 2023 is taking place next month with a stellar lineup of Irish and international strategic and technical though leaders, we hope to see you there!  Register to attend at: https://www.offsitehub.co.uk/events/view?eventid=129
