The Construction Sector
Avid Partners provides accounting services for clients operating in the building trade, the construction services sector, trade organisations and sub-contractors. We have worked with companies to help them restore their credibility in their industry and to help them grow their businesses again after years of austerity and cost cutting. Avid Partners works closely with our construction related clients to re-instil best accounting business practices into their companies and help create a roadmap for future growth now that the clouds in their industry are starting to clear.
Arguably there was no other industry in Ireland more effected by the downturn and reduction in demand of the previous five years than the construction sector. We all remember the daily reports of job losses, uncompleted projects grinding to a halt, lack of liquidity and investment, inflated costs and prices, as well as the never ending bad publicity of practices in the industry which gave the sector a black eye it is only now recovering from. In recent times however the long heralded green shoots finally seem to be sprouting.

- Lack of capital available to the construction industry
- The emergence of a black economy in certain trades and practices in the industry
- NAMA and its on-going influence on the construction sector
