Welcome to Building Value

Independence, integrity and insight are rare qualities and we prize them in our focus on building materials, real estate, construction and support services; and in the provision of advice and leadership in strategy, planning, corporate finance and communications to these key industries.

Its Chairman and founder, Tony Williams, has specialised in these industries and disciplines internationally for over 25 years in a portfolio career as investment banker and industrialist with leading companies such as UBS, Morgan Stanley, ING Barings and ABN AMRO. He was also a Director of Tarmac plc and has wide experience as a Non Executive Director.

This provides Building Value with a unique perspective and an ideal base from which to proffer insight, help and direction; and it does so from a Head Office in central London and a Scandinavian subsidiary in Sweden.

June 2009 – European construction growth is forecast to be negative 8% this year; and -1% in 2010

Euroconstruct, the premier forecasting unit for European construction activity, published its latest numbers in Warsaw this month. These showed that 2008 (-3.1%) was the first year in 15 to show negative growth, with Ireland and Spain the leading losers (both off more than 17% in real terms). In the current year, Europe will be down, again, with a massive deficit of -7.5%. Ireland (set to fall by more than one third) and Spain join in the misery, once more, but are joined by the Nordics, the UK and Italy, in particular. In fact only Switzerland and Poland are in positive territory. Growth will be negative in 2010 too (-1.0%) but 10 of the 19 Euroconstruct countries actually show growth. In 2011, the forecast is +1.6% overall with 15 nations better.
