In a single year the company
gathers and analyses feedback from thousands
of people operating in the industry,
providing a constantly up-to-date understanding of topical issues. The
company has provided research for leading construction material producers,
service providers and trade associations, supplying
information which has shaped product strategies, influenced marketing
campaigns and monitored purchasing practices. As
a consequence of this extensive industry specific activity and through
additional investment, Lychgate has developed a database of practitioners,
decision-makers and influencers which includes clients, housebuilders,
specifiers, main contractors and specialist sub-
contractors. This is used for research processes alone and is utilised
on behalf of clients when preparing samples. Our research programmes
are carried out at all levels in the industry, including:
- major
end user organisations with property portfolios, such as the banks,
building societies, the leading retailers, leisure groups, manufacturing
industry, local authorities, central government, NHS trusts and
housing associations.
- independent
specifiers such as architects, interior designers, surveyors and
engineering consultants.
- housebuilders
- main
contractors
- sub-contractors
and specialist contractors

We have researched
and co-written all of the Barbour Reports (see Research Reports for
further information) which have involved in-depth interviews across
