Houses and apartments can also be designed to be built and occupied in small phases, so that finance can roll over, negating the need to finance entire developments in one go.
More broadly, capacity in the construction sector has still not recovered to Celtic Tiger levels. Typically every new home needs two new workers. Yet there are 30% fewer people employed across all sectors of construction now, only 167,400 compared to 242,000 in 2005. The sector is very fractured through sub-contracting and sub-sub-contracting, which in itself is a barrier to capacity building, recruitment, skills development and quality control.
