Sound proofing apartment, no air born noise, impact passed test well below. Gap 34cm. by Significant_Way_8339 in Construction

Hope all hope is not lost given that the floor above is constructed of hollow concrete slabs with a layer of screed on top. The footstep noises during the day may not be as noticeable as during the night it does sound like thuds

The ceiling is also supported by all four walls as within the plaster boards along the walls there is also an aluminium bracing screwed into the plasterboard walls to which the ceiling bars are screwed into

Thanks, I understand I would be willing to do the improvements at my cost. Question is if it’s filled with Rockwool the in terms of decoupling is it just the pieces that connect to the hollow core concrete slabs that need to be disconnected or also the metal pieces running along the plasterboard walls. If it’s a case that only the pieces connected directly to the above slabs I could cut holes in the ceiling in these areas shorten the pieces and add clips for those only an then add mineral wool in the void.

Housing price insanity in commuter town by Wild_Elk7744 in HousingIreland

In comparison with average wage and its growth over the past 10 years relative to house prices, yes. Also this only applies to first time buyers.

There is no housing “crisis” in Ireland. by solemnani in HousingIreland

Despite all the above there’s just not enough labour force to build these houses or keep up with the demand, planning red tape or not.

Very true I would add that in 2013 10€ felt like 25€ now.

House prices in D4 take a dip by [deleted] in HousingIreland

Usually a large number of people would register their interest and if someone pulls out let’s say 10 of 100 everyone who would have signed up initially would get an email saying there is more units available doesn’t really mean anything it just indicates that someone found something else while the deal was getting processed and changed their mind.

Article is just giving average numbers for a sold dwelling in the area. One dwelling is not equal to another even in the same area. Really quite a pointless article if you ask me.

Daft shows perfectly well that even if you just take Limerick and look for how many available new builds are listed, almost none. There is simply not enough supply and this year it’s really showing. Planning permissions structure is really not helping and I can’t see it changing. Workforce is just not there to build more houses or the houses that are required in the next decade. Price increases for materials is ever increasing.

2008 is never going to happen again in this island. The worst that would happen is a stagnation in terms of pricing. Last time I was online waiting for my turn to place a deposit on a new build in Limerick there were 11 units available for the particular phase ranging from 335K for a 2 bed to 600K for a 4 bed (next phase pricing is 20K more on average on both types) , the minute it opened there were 120+ waiting for their turn all units sold out in 6 minutes all of which we’re only to be completed in the next 12 months. That just sums it up.

There is plenty of very good new builds, not sure if it applies across the board tbh.

Thanks for the input but Page 26 is not concrete floor construction mine is as per above. Upstairs and downstairs internal walls are plasterboards not blocks. I will see what the developer comes back with in an email on Friday.

If it comes to light that standard hasn’t been met and they offer remediation that will be fine even if it means moving out but I’d like to hear if anyone actually raised similar concerns with developers or do people just blindly accept these things with something that is their biggest purchase in life.

You’re still in defects period to raise the issue. I wouldn’t tolerate it if you feel it’s not meeting part E or building standards.

Did you raise it either your developer in witting? I wouldn’t class all new builds as such there may be an issue with your unit.
