Summer Construction Opportunities Welcome to the CIS Newsletter
Construction Opportunites this Summer by Gerard Chadwick
As we enter the summer period we focus our attention on the projects due for commencement during the traditionally quieter period of the construction year. We include an article below which details the number of projects in the Social Housing sector in Northern Ireland which have recently commenced, as well as those due to start imminently. Representing a construction spend of over £125 Million this is an area for many companies to focus on. Turning our attention to matters south of the border we have indentified 150 projects across most sectors due to commence this summer. iCIS members can identify these opportunities easily - if you aren't sure how please contact us and we will be happy to assist. Finally we include a short piece on the €5 Million allocation for securing 'ghost estate' developments. Opportunities may exist here for fencing/security and repair/maintenance companies.
