About Us
Construction Markets was founded in 1968 and is now run by Dominic Collins, who joined Construction Markets in the early 1990’s after achieving qualifications in law, business studies and accountancy.
The company was established by Dominic’s father, John Collins, after a career as a Market Research Manager at one of the world’s largest building materials companies. Having been disappointed with the results of a number of commissioned market research surveys, he and a colleague decided they could produce a better product.
Construction Markets expanded its range of knowledge and experience through the 1970’s and 1980’s. This continues to this day by offering unrivalled detail and accuracy in both multi client and client specific surveys, which address the main markets in the construction industry.
