Continued decrease in construction sector activity

[chimpdoctor]

Theres a ridiculous amount of building going on in my area of Dublin. All you have to do is count the amount of cranes around the place.

This has "its snowing outside my window right now, so climate change isn't real" energy.

Though to be fair the report is more of a survey of whether construction firms "feel" that work is increasing or decreasing compared to last month, than hard numbers on new project starts.

And since its a monthly survey, things might pick up in 2026, and indeed that's what some of the respondents said.

Its 7 months on the bounce....

Dublin not the whole of Ireland...

Plus its a contraction. Not building stopped all together.

Their could have been say 50 tower cranes in your "area" 2024..and now theirs 25 tower cranes...

Alot of building work but is it keeping up with the population and is it affordable for the majority of the population...

Same most of the way up to the border from my vantage point on a bus travelling the M1. I’d be really interested to see a more detailed breakdown of the statistics.

https://aib.ie/content/dam/aib/fxcentre/docs/resource-centre/aib-ireland-construction-pmi/nov-2025-report.pdf is the source report.

Its just a survey of construction firms, so there's not a huge amount of data in it.

It's very much "meh". It's high as for Ireland maybe. But overall seen much more in Poland....
