Company Description

Abbey plc develops residential properties -- mainly single-family homes and apartments -- in the UK, Ireland, and the Czech Republic. Its homebuilding division sells more than 450 homes annually, with an average selling price in the neighborhood of  €184,000 ($225,000). Abbey experienced fewer home sales at lower prices during the economic recession. Homebuilding in Prague also was delayed due to economic conditions. The company's M&J Engineering subsidiary manages and leases industrial plants and equipment. Chairman Charles Gallagher, through Gallagher Holdings, controls about 41% of Abbey. He also manages a family-owned company operating in the same sector, Matthew Homes.

      Competitive Landscape Brief

      Demand depends heavily on the health of the US economy, including corporate profits and local government budgets. The profitability of individual companies depends on accurate project bids and efficient operations. Large companies have advantages in their ability to engage in multiple projects simultaneously and in many types of construction. Small companies can compete effectively by specializing, working in a limited geography, or serving as subcontractors on larger projects. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is more than $350,000. The commercial construction industry is intensely competitive, with companies ranging from small private firms to multi-billion dollar companies. Barriers to entry are low, since large upfront capital expenditures are not necessary. Most companies work locally, but large firms work nationally and some, internationally. The largest firms can have up to 75 percent of their projects outside the US, and must therefore establish offices in countries where demand or regulations require a business presence.
