Who We Work With
Our collaboration with organisations across the entire construction industry supply chain has given us unparalleled insights into market challenges. Our clients include contractors, building product manufacturers, trade associations, and related service organisations.
We frequently work with tier 1 contractors, housebuilders, facilities management contractors, and companies in the environmental and energy fields. Our expertise spans construction materials like bricks, aggregates, timber, doors, roofing, and flooring. We've also studied modern methods of construction (MMC) and offsite building techniques.
We assist merchants and distributors in understanding their markets and customers. Our work also extends to technology firms and service organisations within the construction, environmental, and energy sectors. Trusted by construction trade associations, governmental agencies, and academic institutions, Leading Edge offer extensive studies and investment forecasting for industry stakeholders.
