About Barbour ABI
Construction Analysts
ResearcherBarbour ABI was founded to support the UK construction industry – helping businesses to sustain and grow. We are the exclusive provider of New Orders Estimates to the Office for National Statistics and partner to the Infrastructure & Projects Authority in providing the National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline.
As the market leading provider of construction project information, we strive to allow our clients to access the very best, most accurate and up-to-date data on construction projects and the key decision makers that are involved.
Not only do we generate construction project leads, but we also are able to inform the industry of the latest trends and developments using our data to analyse and form a complete picture of the past, present and future.
We consider current affairs and their impact on our industry, where the opportunities and threats lie, and therefore how our clients can future-proof themselves.
Our mission is to provide our clients with the best experience and that the service and product we provide is an extension of their own business and something they can’t do without.
