Business overview:

 

 

In the United States, investment in residential construction declined as a result of an imbalance between a surplus offering in the marketplace and declining demand, generated by a 100% price increase over a period of 10 years (with significant household debt).

This trend has had a negative impact on the sector’s professionals, and notably suppliers of wooden components (structures frameworks, panels etc), building contractors and even property developers, who have had to offer reductions or sales incentives. This trend is likely to continue, or even intensify, in 2007.
