Dublin: Permission Delays, Contractor Shortage, Costs Soaring
Council permissions take 8-12 weeks officially (often 16+ weeks reality—Dublin councils backed up). Tech boom created severe contractor shortage—quality firms book 4-6 months out, Docklands specialists book 6+ months. Costs: €31-55/sqft and climbing 20% annually.
Dublin challenges:
- Silicon Docks: Highest demand, worst availability. Tech giants competing for same contractors. Expect premium pricing and long waits. Fire cert process slow.
- Georgian District: Protected structures slow (conservation approvals add 8-12 weeks). Limited contractors experienced with heritage work.
- Suburban (Sandyford, Leopardstown): Faster permissions (6-8 weeks), better availability. Pharma companies concentrated here.
Fire Safety and DAC certificates each add 2-4 weeks to timeline (both required before occupation). Tech client demands high—data infrastructure, amenities, finishes all premium. Costs skyrocketing due to demand. Book contractors early or pay massive premiums.
Why Dublin is Unique
Dublin City Council permissions take 8-12 weeks (can hit 16+ weeks with complications—council notoriously slow). Tech boom created contractor shortage—quality firms book 4-6 months ahead, sometimes 6+ months for Docklands. Fire Safety Certificate and Disability Access Certificate each add 2-4 weeks. Costs up 20%+ annually.
