Standard Project Processes a Key to Controlling Project Deliverables

Ensuring that you have the correct project structures and processes in place to facilitate efficient project delivery is critically important to any property development business.

In Ireland, the ratio of residential planning activations to completed units is approximately 1:2 in suburban areas and between 1:3 to 4 in urban areas. To achieve the target of 50,000 homes per year, the number of planning applications must double annually. Challenges to delivery includes the grant rate of planning applications, judicial reviews, infrastructure constraints, and financial viability. Developers need to focus on controllable factors to efficiently move a project through planning to site commencement. This paper offers strategies to manage these controllables effectively.

22/4/2025

With current uncertainty and volatility in the market it's important to review property projects and carry out a sensitivity analysis on a project's overall return by varying the original baseline assumptions. This may be particularly be the case where a project is distressed, being restructured or in advance of being offered for sale. Using as an illustrative example the case of the mixed use Camden Yard project in Dublin a sensitivity analysis should review the impact on return of as broad range of assumptions as possible in order to understand and quantify the risks in a project or ballpark what a site may be worth. ​

Graph of buildup of tender price changes split between costs and builder margin increases
Historic and Forecast Buildup of Tender Price Changes
With a building and materials cost inflation forecast of c. 4.0% through 2025 and expected labour cost increase in the range 2.5% - 3.5% in the same period I expect tender prices (for general building) to increase by up to 3.4% in 2025 based on these assumptions. This assumes that contractors hold gross margin targets of 7% given the expected level of activity in the market. With this forecast tender increase being lower than that experiences in 8 of the past 10 years it is a good time to progress projects to take advantage of current prices.
