Constructive momentum

Pressure often reveals what’s working and what needs rethinking. Across the built environment, the demands of AI infrastructure, housing shortages, and energy reform aren’t slowing down. Instead of buckling under the weight, the sector is adapting with speed, from legal battles that test accountability to projects pushing forward against the tide of public resistance. In Ireland, energy rules are bending to support growth. 

In housing, budget decisions are being challenged to meet demand. Through it all, the sector keeps building—not just for today’s needs, but with an eye on tomorrow’s resilience.
