About IHBA Housebuilding Summit
Over the coming decades, Ireland will continue to channel billions of euro into housing, infrastructure, and the renewal of our built environment. This investment is now being shaped by the updated National Planning Framework 2040+, the implementation of the Planning and Development Bill, the evolution of sustainability and building performance regulations, and the recalibrated national housing delivery targets, which are set to rise steadily through 2030 to meet demographic and economic demand.
Central to the new policy direction is a strengthened commitment to compact growth, higher-density urban living, and the efficient use of serviced land within existing towns and cities. Achieving these goals amid persistent cost pressures, skills shortages, tightened planning requirements, and evolving environmental standards represents a defining challenge for Ireland’s homebuilding sector. Access to zoned, infrastructure-ready land, alongside improvements in planning timelines and regulatory clarity, will be critical to accelerating delivery.
Now in its seventh year, the IHBA’s annual Housebuilding Summit brings industry leaders together to examine these pressures and opportunities, offering practical insights, emerging innovations, and policy perspectives to support best-in-class housing delivery. This is where innovation meets pragmatism—a forum designed to advance collaboration, problem-solving, and shared learning at a time when the sector must adapt with unprecedented agility.
The 2026 Summit is an essential gathering for homebuilders, developers, local authorities, approved housing bodies, policymakers, suppliers, and all partners shaping Ireland’s housing future. Mark the date, bring your teams, and join us to engage with leading experts, explore sector-wide trends, and connect with peers who understand both the challenges and the opportunities that lie ahead.
