Experimenting with drugs

Article Abstract:

Working for the pharmaceutical industry is a very attractive proposition for building firms, as it is lucrative with plenty of opportunities. But it is often hard to obtain a contract because all of the buildings have to meet regulatory standards. The construction company also has to have in depth knowledge of the building needs of the pharmaceutical industry and must gain the confidence of a drugs company, which may be reluctant to try a new building firm. Some of the larger building firms have purchased smaller companies which have already work with the pharmaceutical industry.

Best of times

Article Abstract:

The UK construction economy is forecast to grow by around 2.1% in 2000 and 2.4% in 2001. However, there will be significant variation between construction sectors. Increased government funding for run-down schools and hospitals will assist the public non-residential repair and maintenance sector, which is forecast to expand by 2% in 2000 and a further 2% in 2001. However, the private industrial sector will fall by 12% in 2000 and 2% in 2001, with manufacturers unlikely to invest heavily in construction.

Back in boom

Article Abstract:

Experts are concerned about the rapid speed at which the UK housebuilding market has recovered during 1999 from a low in 1998 and predictions of an industry overheat are being taken seriously. An all-time low interest rate policy has driven house prices up dramatically during 1999, with prices in the construction industry rising to keep up. Labour shortages are also being reported forcing delivery times to be lengthened and building projects to be slowed down.
