At B&G Construction, we’re always at the forefront of industry trends, ensuring our clients receive the best service and craftsmanship. As we edge closer to 2025, several key trends are shaping the construction landscape. Let’s explore how these innovations are transforming the way we build and how B&G Construction is staying ahead of the curve.
Top 6 Construction Industry Trends for 2024
1. Sustainability as Standard
Sustainable materials and energy-efficient designs are no longer just buzzwords—they’re now baseline expectations for high-end builds. Driven by both regulatory demands and market sentiment, this shift is increasingly seeing clients seek out environmentally responsible projects. Level(s) is the European Union’s common language framework for sustainable buildings, which we use to make our construction projects and the buildings themselves more sustainable. An example of how we have integrated eco-friendly practices into our projects is our use of Insulated Concrete Framework (ICF) construction. This is a cost-effective and energy-efficient form of construction that ensures our structures are not only luxurious, but also environmentally responsible.
2. Advanced Technology Integration
From AI-driven project management to smart home integrations, technology is revolutionising how we execute and deliver projects. Our team stays ahead of the curve, utilising cutting-edge tools to enhance efficiency and precision in every build. For example, B&G Construction’s Commercial Director, Marcus Fitzmaurice uses advanced programming tools to ensure ultimate efficiency for our projects.
3. Custom Client Experiences
While technology offers productivity gains, the demand for personalised, tailored experiences is growing. Through our dedicated client partnerships, we ensure that each project is a true reflection of our clients’ visions and aspirations. Testimonials from our clients and partners showcase how our personalised approach has led to exceptional results and satisfied customers. Read our recent blog post with our architecture partner, Bram d’Hoet to discover our collaborative approach.
4. Smart and Green Buildings
As smart technologies become more advanced, we’re seamlessly integrating them with eco-friendly designs. The result? Spaces that are not only high-spec and technologically advanced but also environmentally conscious. Our green building certifications from the bodies such as the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland reflect our commitment to creating sustainable, intelligent structures.
5. Safety Enhancements
The emphasis on health and safety has never been greater. We’re investing in new innovations in protective gear and on-site safety protocols, ensuring secure environments for all our workers and partners. Our commitment to workplace safety goes beyond compliance, setting new standards in the industry.

6. Addressing the Skills Gap
Ireland’s construction industry is facing a significant skills gap, particularly in sustainable construction. The recently launched National Upskilling Roadmap for Sustainability in the Built Environment is addressing this by calling for new training programs and public awareness campaigns.
At B&G Construction, we’re embracing these opportunities by upskilling our workforce to meet the evolving demands of the industry. By investing in green skills, modern methods and digital innovation, we’re not just building structures—we’re fostering a more skilled, diverse and sustainable workforce.
