QUESTION NO.26

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask for a report into a 3 bed Rapid Build House, the cost involved versus the cost of building a 3 bed house? (Given reports of €248,000 per house)

REPLY:

The cost of building a 3 bedroom social housing unit within administrative area of South Dublin County Council  is in excess of €200,000 but the true cost will be determined by the market when we soon go to tender for approved projects. The cost of building a 3 bedroom Rapid Build unit is not yet known and the Dublin City Council costs for their first units at Poppintree will be made available when final accounts are agreed which will provide an indication of the cost to expect at this stage they are not yet finalised. The Council will be progressing Rapid Build Delivery through a national framework currently being set up by the OGP - (Office of Government Procurement). This is currently at RFI stage.
