A landmark residential housing development in Ballyvolane, Cork, is piloting Enterprise Ireland’s Built to Innovate programme, an initiative under the Government’s Housing for All strategy, helping to accelerate the delivery of high-quality, sustainable homes across Ireland through sustainable, low waste, construction methods.

The announcement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin took place at Longview, a major residential development in Ballyvolane, just north of Cork city, where CField Construction, as build partners to Longview Estates, is delivering more than 700 new homes – a mix of private and social housing – using innovative, factory-style on-site processes combined with offsite timber-frame manufacturing.
