Lithuania has around 3500 companies supplying building materials, with around 70% sold for domestic use.

Article Abstract:

Singapore has an extremely strong economy, even though it is only a very small country. There are opportunities there for UK construction consultants and contractors, but it is necessary to be competitive. Some tax incentives are available for investors, and overseas concerns can set up in Singapore without Singaporean equity. The government is seeking to address rising labour costs through measures including boosting productivity and encouraging higher value-added industries.
