Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
2670. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the estimated annual cost to build 20,000 new social and affordable homes per year for five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33514/18]
Amharc ar fhreagra2765. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the average cost of building council housing on publicly owned land that is fully serviced. [35064/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 2670 and 2765 together.
The cost of constructing new social homes is dependent on a range of variables, such as the location, the scale of the development and the size of the homes involved.
My Department analyses data from tendered social housing schemes and based on this, the information below set out the average costs arising across the local authority areas for different house types/sizes. From this, the cost of delivering various quantum of housing over different periods, based on present costs, can be calculated.
The construction costs shown are reflective of building costs (including VAT) and also include normal site works and site development. All-in costs include cost of construction, land cost, professional fees, utility connections, site investigations/surveys, archaeology where appropriate, and contribution to public art. Abnormal costs are excluded from these figures.
