A video update from Chief Economist Tom Hall, our Spotlight feature of the month and much more in our January roundup
Our Chief Economist, Tom Hall, has recorded another exclusive video for Barbour ABI Community readers, giving his breakdown of how the construction industry fared in January, with an analysis of month-on-month comparisons and a further review of 2020 figures.
Our Spotlight feature is our brand new Smart Map, developed alongside the Infrastructure & Projects Authority, which we couldn't be more excited for you to check out.
And across the page we're very excited about our Annual Review 2020, as well as the breakdown of everything in our Content Calendar for 2021. So, go ahead and get stuck in to everything that we had to offer throughout January!
Barbour ABI have been the chosen partner of the Infrastructure and Projects Authority for six years providing our industry with the National Infrastructure and Construction Pipeline.
In June 2020 together we delivered a Smart Map that visualised over £37bn of planned spend in projects, programmes and other investments in the National Infrastructure and Construction Procurement Pipeline.
Today we would like to bring to you a new, free to access Smart Map that visualises the progress of the projects announced in the Summer. The map demonstrates which projects have now started work on-site and which have reached contract award or tender stage.
These projects are active, powerful opportunities for your business to utilise. Access the map to discover the key details that are relevant to you.

This integral report analyses how every sector and region performed in the face of the most unprecedented of circumstances, and which projects dominated to deliver a grand total of £57bn worth of contract awards across 2020.
If you want in-depth, detailed analysis of what defined 2020 then look no further.
Our unparalleled, 360-degree view of the construction industry across our family of Barbour ABI, Barbour Product Search and AMA Research has inspired us to publish a content calendar for 2021.
There are 12 themes that you have told us are important to you. It’s not an exhaustive list – there are only 12 months in a year! – but we hope that by working in partnership with expert consultants and companies in our space we will publish free articles, blog posts and white papers that you will find useful and thought-provoking.
We've got the highlights of January's theme - 'Proptech and the Office 2.0' - on the very next page of Community. And you can get involved with February's theme of Mental Health & Wellbeing by getting in touch at hello@barbour-abi.com.
