Foresite is a digest monitoring the movement in the procurement lead times of 38 trade packages. Data is compiled from intelligence gathered over a two-month period from 2400 trade contractors by QS Gardiner Theobald and construction consultant Mace. An analysis of the joinery sector is given on pages 64-65. Forthe past 12 months, but particularly since the beginning of 1997, the general feeling in the industry is that workload is rising dramatically. This surge has not yet reached smaller general contractors, but medium-sized and larger main contractors are busier.
