“We can’t have an industry that relies on one framework, we need more pipeline”

With offsite construction playing a greater role than ever in housing and infrastructure delivery, Carol Tallon sits down with Denise Tuffy, Specialist Contracting Director at the Construction Industry Federation, to discuss the work of the Smart Off-site Association (SOsA).

Denise shares members’ perspectives on current government PMV targets, standout projects, and the opportunities ahead including Vision Built’s pioneering traineeships to Cygnum’s 70% manufacturing expansion. Representing leading companies including Actavo, CPAC Modular, Procon Modular, Lidan Designs, Cygnum, Vision-Built, Adston, Extraspace, Manley Timber Frame, Castle Group, MMC Eco Homes, and G-Frame Structure, Denise talks of how collaboration and support can drive the delivery of homes, schools, and healthcare projects.

🎙️Mere weeks in advance of retiring from the Construction Industry Federation (CIF) Director General Hubert Fitzpatrick talks to Breaking Ground: Construction News host Carol Tallon about an almost five-decade long career in leadership across local authorities, planning, housing and the wider construction industry.

He dispels the notion that Ireland’s construction industry does not have the necessary capacity to scale delivery on the ground, while emphasising the importance of longer-term planning for strategic infrastructure and the need for a “presumption in favour of development”
