Built Momentum

Construction continues to recalibrate around quality, capability and long-term delivery as investment decisions increasingly favour resilience over pace. This edition brings together perspectives that reflect a sector balancing ambition with discipline while responding to shifting economic and regional priorities.

Highlighted for transformative projects last year, ‘RKD Designs' Advanced Manufacturing Facility wins Design Project of the Year at Irish Construction Industry Awards 2025’ stood out as a signal of how design excellence and technical clarity are shaping modern construction outcomes. That achievement sets expectations as attention turns towards the 2026 awards, where consistency of delivery and demonstrable impact will remain central to recognition.

Alongside this, ‘Peden Power expands access to global equipment for contractors’ highlights how access and flexibility are becoming strategic enablers for project delivery. Strengthening supply capability reflects a broader emphasis on reliability and performance across complex build environments.

Lastly, ‘McPhillips advances regional construction pipeline across the Midlands’ underscores the importance of regional momentum in sustaining sector health. Local pipelines are increasingly recognised as anchors of skills, investment and continuity.

These stories frame a construction sector focused on progress and value. They invite readers to explore how design leadership, access and regional strength are shaping the industry’s next phase.
