Leading Edge is a market research consultancy focusing on the construction, building products and environmental industries. Our key services include market research & analysis, strategic planning and customer satisfaction surveys.

Established in 1988, our aim is to add real value to your business by helping you to drive growth through a better understanding of your customers, competitors, products and markets. We have completed over 250 research projects in the last 10 years, mostly in the construction sectors, and so have the experience to deliver the insights you need.

We also have significant operational sales and marketing experience in the construction sector at Director level, in both manufacturing and distribution, and over 90% of our projects are for clients who work in or supply the construction sector.

We listen to our clients’ needs and then determine how we can best help them meet their objectives. This will usually involve a better understanding of their customers, competitors or markets in order to help drive their business forward.

A key part of our service offering to clients is construction market research. Most of our research projects are with clients who are either in or closely related to the construction and building products sectors. We have worked with manufacturers, distributors, contractors and service organisations in these sectors and have interviewed respondents from across the construction supply chain.
