Euro building contracts worth billions up for grabs, says Gormley

The upcoming standardisation of all EU Government building contracts and tenders in Eurocodes provides the Irish construction sector with a golden opportunity to adopt best practice and explore new business markets, according to John Gormley TD, Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government.

Minister Gormley was speaking at the launch by Engineers Ireland of an online training facility for engineering designers, contractors and clients designed to explain the introduction of Eurocodes in March 2010, the EU’s new construction standards.
