Respond: Delivering over 1,400 homes across Ireland
Respond, the Approved Housing Body and community services provider, has a building programme in excess of €1 billion and delivers homes in 15 to 18 months from commencement on site at an average cost of less than €300,000 including site and all other costs, based on the homes in its current building programme.
