About us
Building Information Ireland research and publish data on all construction and planning activity in Ireland. Subscribers to the BuildingInfo service have access to thousands of well researched and up-to-date records of on-the-ground construction activity in every county. As well as publishing through our web portal, we publish the Building Information Index, which charts activity across all key commercial construction sectors.
The BuildingInfo database has many uses. It contains every live planning application in Ireland, whether a developer-led, multi-million euro project or a domestic extension. Each application is classified, then researched, and a project file is created which includes, among other data, details of all the principals involved. Whether you need national economic trends, analysis of a sector, or the details of individual projects or companies, take the free trial or call the team on +353 1 905 3200.
