RIDBA Countryside Building

underbttons

This is the Associations journal and is published by Ghyll House Publishing Ltd.

Agricultural construction is surprisingly large we assess it has a total turnover of approximately £2.25 billion.

With Ridba contractor Corporate Members erecting in the region of 100 buildings per week. With our very large membership base, we can be confident that one of our members will be involved, either as a designer, materials or equipment supplier or contractor in the construction of the majority of industrial and Agricultural buildings built in the UK.

Agriculture is continuing to go through very hard times with farmers’ income continuing to decline, because of this there continues to be a large amount of reorganising going on, with those farmers staying in the industry striving to be more efficient. The end result is that, surprisingly, agricultural construction is still buoyant.

Countryside Building has over 400 steel, timber and concrete frame manufacturers on its circulation list, no other construction magazine can claim such a comprehensive list.

Countryside Building is also sent to a large number of Designers, Surveyors and land agents will have influence on buildings and their design although their involvement has reduced over the years.

The renovation and conversion of old farm buildings is also a specialised field of construction covered in Countryside Building.

You will see from the circulation list and the features list for the rest of the year that Countryside Building is the advertising medium required by you to reach this large but specialist area of construction.
