Welcome to Building Value


Independence, integrity and insight are rare qualities and we prize them in our focus on building materials, real estate, construction and support services; and in the provision of advice and leadership in strategy, planning, corporate finance and communications to these key industries.

Its Chairman and founder, Tony Williams, has specialised in these industries and disciplines internationally for over 25 years in a portfolio career as investment banker and industrialist with leading companies such as UBS, Morgan Stanley, ING Barings and ABN AMRO. He was also a Director of Tarmac plc and has wide experience as a Non Executive Director.

This provides Building Value with a unique perspective and an ideal base from which to proffer insight, help and direction; and it does so from a Head Office in central London and a Scandinavian subsidiary in Sweden.

Building Value: it does just that

January 2012 - UK Housebuilding Sector: 2011 considered plus the outlook

The Sector rose by a handsome 17% last year on a weighted basis, which is fine to be getting on with. But we believe the paradigm has shifted in terms of housing demand for the foreseeable future - and further re-structuring/downsizing will be required amongst suppliers. See Papers

January 2012 - Unique Index shows the UK Construction and Building Sector flat-lined in 2011 and would rank 12th in the FTSE 100

The value of the quoted UK construction and building industry - as defined by our very own Index - inched upwards in 2011 by 2% to reach a total of £37.6 billion (2010: +20%): This includes consultants, contractors, distributors, housebuilders, materials manufacturers, plant hire companies and service providers; and the best sub-sector performer was plant hire, with worst being consultants down 25%.

January 2012 - UK construction output: no respite until 2014 at the earliest

Experian, where Building Value is an advisor, says that UK GDP will be barely positive this year and UK construction output will fall by around 6% in real terms. Nor will there be any substantial recovery until 2014 when output will still be more than 7% below its 2007 peak; and, there is real pain to be felt in public sector building. All numbers come with a health warning, too, should Europe implode.
