Ireland’s construction supply chain is entering winter against a backdrop of rising costs and wider uncertainty. Atradius research found that 82% of surveyed construction suppliers were concerned about rising energy prices, while 77% were worried about supply-chain disruption. Higher fuel or energy costs were also identified as the biggest business risk for the coming winter. These pressures can travel beyond the site, affecting suppliers, project schedules, customer payments and cashflow. Download the report for sector-specific findings, business case studies and practical insight to help your organisation plan for a more unpredictable trading environment.

Strong sales do not automatically mean strong cashflow. A construction business can be growing while becoming more exposed if customers take longer to pay. When energy costs, supply disruption and geopolitical uncertainty are added to the picture, operational pressure can quickly become financial risk. Atradius’ latest report explores what this means for Ireland’s construction supply chain. It brings together original research, expert perspectives and business case studies to help decision-makers recognise risk earlier and plan with greater confidence. Download the report to understand the pressures shaping the coming winter and the approaches businesses are taking to protect cashflow.

Construction businesses cannot control the weather, global events or changing market conditions. They can control how prepared they are to respond.

It also depends on understanding how disruption may affect customers, suppliers, payment behaviour and cashflow. Drawing on research with 118 decision-makers, industry expertise and real construction supply-chain experiences, the report highlights practical measures businesses are using to prepare. Download the report and discover how stronger operational planning and greater visibility of financial risk can support confident decision-making.

Construction businesses may be confident in their ability to keep materials moving, but payment disruption remains a significant concern. In new research from Atradius, 92% of surveyed businesses said they were concerned about delayed customer payments affecting their business this winter. The report examines how operational disruption can spread through projects, invoices and payment cycles, placing additional pressure on cashflow. It also explores how construction suppliers are monitoring payment behaviour, assessing customer risk and preparing for uncertainty.

A quarter of construction businesses only respond to customer payment risk once problems have already arisen. Just a third assess customer creditworthiness before trading at all. With energy costs, supply disruption and geopolitical uncertainty adding pressure this winter, reacting after the fact can be costly.
