Construction and Engineering

The US construction industry is expected to remain flat after surviving a challenging 2011. The Asian markets seem to provide huge potential to growth, but are they slowing down in their aggressive development? Will this potential lead the way to new business opportunities? Browse Research and Markets’ Construction and Engineering category to investigate exactly where the real opportunities lie, and how your company can exploit them.

Our publications cover every conceivable aspect of both sectors. Construction refers to the construction and maintenance of buildings or infrastructure projects such as roads and bridges, while Engineering refers to all engineering services, including the design and development of machines, materials, processes, structures, and systems. For publications focusing on software engineering please visit our Computing and Technology section.

The reports, subscriptions and books listed under this category will provide you with comprehensive overviews of global and regional markets, a wealth of statistical data and forecasts, commentaries and insights, as well as news about the latest technological developments. From the emerging economies to the developed world, this is where you will find the construction and engineering data that will inform your organisation’s next step forward. Show Less ... more
