This Database provides information on very small, small, medium and large builders and contains approximately 1,125 records. The comprehensive information not only details their key contacts but also provides group structures, divisions, acquisitions and mergers along with details on completions, active sites, how procurement is managed and trends within the housebuilding sector.

Office closures

Over the past few months many of the major housebuilders have announced plans to restructure their businesses.  In many cases this has resulted in office closures.  Therefore amendments have been made to this Database in order to ensure that office closures are easily identifiable, but more importantly we clearly show which offices have now taken responsibility for their work.

The total group completion figure is made up of individual completion figures for all offices within a group.  The Databases Group Summary now illustrates which offices have since been closed.  This report will remain the same however, until each housebuilder releases their next full year's completion figures, when we can again obtain a breakdown for the individual offices remaining in operation.

The above screenshots are displayed for illustrative purposes only and as such, housebuilder details have been removed.

For the first time:

• The National Affordable Housing Programme will run over three years from 2008 - 2011.

• Over £8.4 billion worth of grant (with an estimated project value of £21 billion) will be awarded.

• Only 'pre-qualified' organisations can bid for funding.  These now include Housebuilders, HAs, LAs and ALMOs.

Full details of allocations are provided on the Database.

Opportunities and issues

The Strategic section of the Database provides extensive background information on private housebuilding opportunities, growth locations, the Governments legislative programme and major housing and planning issues.

Mailing lists

The Database also includes a fully automated mailing tool allowing clients to create letters, labels, reports and spreadsheets.  Mailing lists automatically exclude closed offices included in the Database and allow you to search companies by geographical region, number of completions, Modern Methods of Construction, Group(s), Division(s) and individual office(s).  Clients can also search for specific personnel within organisations.
