The commercial sector has seen a period of unprecendented growth in recent years, with 2007 seeing a 13% year on year rise in new orders . A significant contributor to this 'boom' has been low availability of office and retail space against growing demand. This has pushed rents through the roof, prompting a surge of new builds in the capital and across the UK.
However, what impact will the credit squeeze have on the sector? Are banks shying away from investing or lending money to developers? Are private clients choosing to hold on to their capital? How will interest rates affect consumer spending, and in turn the construction of new retail and leisure facilities?
These and many more questions need addressing now as you plan the future of your business. There is currently a relatively full pipeline of work, but how long will this last?
2008 sees the commercial sector in a new terriority – healthy but heedful.
To put things into perspective and to get the answers you need you must attend the 2nd Opportunities in Commercial Construction conference.
Highlights of the day will include:
A forecast and full review of market trends and drivers
The UK's leading developers presenting their property portfolios
Sub-sector breakout sessions allowing you to tailor make your day
Interactive regional roundtables
A host of project and client led case studies
Plus…Speed Networking: the fast and fun way to make new business contacts!
Take part in mini-meetings with a range of new people who could be your future business partners. Exchange business cards and make a note of the people that you should definitely meet again!
