The
Role of the Branch |
|
The
Branch collects and publishes information on those building
materials whose raw material has to be extracted from
the ground, but provides information and advice on all
building materials.
The
Branch conducts an annual inquiry into the overseas
activity of British-based construction firms. The information
covers building and civil engineering projects that
are being operated from the British office.

value of new contacts awarded and the total amount of
work completed during the calendar year. The inquiry
