  • (1888PressRelease) November 03, 2011 - Construction Review is a compelling read amongst key construction industry professionals. Quarter 3 begins with leading stories from two key figures within the construction community; Dr Noble Francis, Economics Director of the Construction Products Association and Brian Green who blogs for Building magazine.

    The review provides a detailed analysis of all sectors within the construction industry. Here's an extract from the Commercial and Retail sector summary (July to September 2011):

    A pleasing performance from the commercial and retail sector saw the total values of contracts awarded up 30% on the previous quarter thanks to major office developments within London. With falling vacancy rates in the capital and rental yield growing at the fastest pace since 2007, according to RICS, a high demand is expected to continue for the near future at least.

    Barbour ABI reports on every new building project in the UK, enhancing planning application and public tender information at each stage of the construction lifecycle. For over 70 years, the Barbour ABI portfolio has provided industry leading services to the construction community.

    Rebecca Pedler, Marketing Manager, says: "We've been producing Construction Review for quite a few years now, and it's always proved to be a big success amongst industry professionals. It provides a great insight into the performance of the sectors, whilst also introducing the flexibility of Barbour ABI's services.
