In this edition of the BuildingInfo newsletter we examine some key sectors during the first 6 months of 2015 and compare these to the same period last year. We examine volumes of new planning applications lodged as well as project commencements, to determine the current state of the construction industry. We also provide you with sample project commencements from July. I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the latest member of our growing team at BuildingInfo, David Martin, who will join our management team in the role of operations manager.
