EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Between 1993 and 1996 the market for UK consulting
engineers increased substantially from £1.95 billion to £2.53
billion. A further increase of 8 percent in real terms is estimated to have occurred
in 1997. The increase in UK consulting engineers' workload was mainly
attributable to work undertaken in international markets, although certain
sectors of the domestic market improved due to a number of factors, such as the
stronger economy.
Fees rendered by UK consulting engineers in
international markets increased significantly during the review period
reflecting the stronger efforts made by UK consulting engineers to win
international contracts. The Far East has been a particular focus of activity
with significant investments being made due to the transfer of ownership of
Hong Kong. Africa and the EU were other growth regions during the review
period.
In the UK and international markets, the roads,
bridges, railways and canals sector has rendered the largest proportion of fees
for consulting engineers. The reduction in public expenditure in this sector in
the UK has partly been offset by PFI projects. The commercial & domestic
building sector has also made a significant contribution to UK consulting
engineers' workloads.
The principal factors affecting the demand for UK
consulting engineers during the review period included:
- - UK and international economic
factors
- - levels of public expenditure
- - the introduction of PFI and privately
financed projects in the UK and internationally
- - privatisation activity
- - national and EU legislation
In addition, the introduction of National Lottery
funding for construction projects and projects associated with the millennium
have created further demand for consulting engineering services.
MSI believe that between 1998 and 2000 the market
for UK consulting engineers will increase significantly after which time it is
expected to decrease marginally. The roads, bridges, railways and canals,
commercial and domestic building and environment sectors are all expected to be
the major areas of growth during the five year forecast period.
The level of competition in the market for UK
consulting engineers remains intense. It is estimated that the five leading UK
consultancies accounted for some 39 percent of total fees rendered during 1996, whilst
the 15 leading companies accounted for 71 percent of the market value during the same
year. Many consultancies are now forming consortia to undertake large scale
projects and are offering multi-disciplinary services.
