Sunday Property Round-Up October 17th, 2021

 

Weekly Irish property market news and insights – for the industry, by the industry  

 

Construction marketing

 

Before we get stuck into the general property news of the week, below are the local and international stories that might be of particular interest: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Is the future of work confusing? Not remotely . . .While organisations have focused on the immediate implications of remote working due to Covid-19 disruption, many are beginning to consider the future of work and revaluate the location of their workforce more broadly  https://www.businesspost.ie/commercial-reports/is-the-future-of-work-confusing-not-remotely-1f1509df

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!)

SUNDAY LISTEN

 

Property Matters: Ireland’s first weekly property radio show and podcast, which launched in January 2019 on Dublin South FM 93.9 and is now available internationally via iTunes and Spotify podcast (www.iPropertyRadio.com), returned earlier this month for a fourth season. The team delivers 60 minutes of industry chat weekly with guests from the areas of planning, construction, property and proptech.

This week on #PropertyMatters iPropertyRadio.com, I am joined by Chartered Building Surveyor, Fergus Merriman, of Merriman Solutions (https://www.merrimansolutions.com/about-us.html ) to discuss the industry response to the unfolding mica issue, planning for one-off rural homes, and the (too slow) move to modern methods of construction, or MMC.
