New Construction Database provides renewed opportunities for suppliers

Insight Data, the leading supplier of business data for the building industry, has opened up new opportunities for suppliers in the commercial and new-build sector by launching the first comprehensive database of major building companies in the UK.

The Construction File has detailed information on over 4,900 decision makers in 1,400 of the UK’s largest construction firms, including property developers, house builders, main contractors and property maintenance companies.

“The construction industry has seen unprecedented re-alignment in the last three years with companies such as Connaught PLC and ROK folding, while many others have restructured, merged or changed sectors/strategy.  The number of decision-makers and senior executives who have changed positions is also astonishing” explains David Lewis, Insight’s Data Analyst.

This is creating a headache for building product suppliers, service providers and the thousands of other companies who supply large construction firms, as the relationships they have built over a number of years are disappearing.

“The market has certainly seen decline, but the companies on the Construction File are still purchasing hundreds of millions of pounds in products and services every year. Unfortunately many suppliers are wasting a huge amount of time, money and resources promoting their company or products to decision makers who have long gone, or to organisations that have ceased trading, merged with someone else or changed sectors, and all that effort is simply ending up in the bin” adds David.

The Construction File is continuously updated by Insight Data’s research team and provides suppliers with the latest market intelligence on all major building firms on one easy-to-use database.  With over 4,900 senior decision makers (including over 4,300 email addresses), across 1,400 organisations including;

• Major house-builders
• Property developers and maintenance companies
• Main building contractors

Users of the database can instantly search between business types (eg house builders or main contractors) and even market sectors (eg education sector or social housing).
