Planning Permission Winners Shine at Sisk 2025 Awards
Major construction milestones and planning permission achievements took centre stage at the Sisk 2025 Supply Chain Awards, celebrating excellence across Ireland’s building sector.
The 2025 Sisk Supply Chain Awards recognised outstanding contributions from contractors, consultants, and project teams who have delivered innovative, sustainable, and compliant developments. Winners were announced at a gala event, highlighting projects that navigated complex planning permission processes and demonstrated best practice in environmental impact and community engagement. The awards spotlighted firms that successfully secured An Bord Pleanála decisions and overcame challenges related to flood-risk development and housing scheme approval.
Among the top honours, several projects stood out for their commitment to sustainability and regulatory compliance. Award recipients included teams that delivered landmark residential and commercial schemes, many of which required careful navigation of material contravention issues and rigorous environmental impact assessments. Judges praised the winners for their ability to balance ambitious design with responsible planning, ensuring developments met both local authority requirements and national standards.
The awards also celebrated innovation in construction methods, with winners recognised for pioneering use of modern methods of construction (MMC) and digital planning tools. These advancements have helped streamline the planning permission process, reducing delays and improving outcomes for developers and communities alike. Projects that integrated green infrastructure and prioritised health and safety throughout the planning and build phases received special commendation.
Finalists and winners represented a broad spectrum of the industry, from small subcontractors to large multinational firms. Their success stories reflect the evolving landscape of Irish construction, where planning permission is increasingly linked to sustainability, resilience, and community benefit.
