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.
Building Value: it does just that

The value of the quoted UK construction and building industry - as defined by our very own Index - rose by a very impressive 55% in calendar 2009 to £32 billion (2008: minus 48%); this includes contractors, consultants, housebuilders, merchants and service providers. It also means that the entire industry is valued at about the same as TESCO plc. See Papers
