Real Cost of Apartment Delivery
The Real Cost of New Apartments Report provides current figures on the costs of delivering various categories of apartments to market. The report features a breakdown of costs, affordability and viability analyses and recommendations for the future.
Real Cost of New Housing Delivery
The SCSI Cost of Housing Delivery Report provides real figures on the average delivery costs for three bedroom semi-detached houses constructed in the private sector. The report provides a breakdown of all costs, affordability and viability analyses and key recommendations for policymakers.
Real Cost of Apartment Block Maintenance
This examination of the current challenges with ‘sinking fund’ provisions in multi-unit developments (MUDs) in Ireland. The focus of the report is to assess the levels of funds being set aside each year by MUDs, and to compare this with estimated costs for repairing, maintaining and renewing ‘common areas’ in apartment blocks (e.g., roofs, lifts, balconies and car parking).
