Bricks and mortar are one of the cornerstones of the global economy. This is not only reflected in the cash flow of the end to end process, but also the confidence that exists to enable money to be borrowed in such huge sums. A very successful entrepreneur I used to know said that if you wanted to know the state of the economy check if the construction cranes were moving in the square mile. I suspect its as true today as it was 20 years ago.
