European Architectual Barometer
Why the European Architectural Barometer?
2
• Key trends like BIM, prefab, changes in
DMU, changing role of the architect, and
many more are shaping the market.
Knowing where, how and when these
trends become relevant is key market
intelligence input for strategic decision
making.
• The European Architectural Barometer
follows trends in all 8 countries covered
by the research.
• Each quarter a key trend will be
investigated and reported. Results are
split on a country level.
• Marketing/market research budgets will
not allow running a dedicated market
research for each trend in the market.
The European Architectural Barometer
will provide you with need to know
information against relatively low
costs.
• The European Architectural Barometer is
a co-makership between our clients and
USP. Together we decide which trends to
investigate.
• The way architects are getting
information is changing rapidly.
Digitalization, the changing DMU and
the way how they orientate is
changing. This trend makes pull
marketing much more important. In order
to do pull marketing, it’s vital to know your
target group.
• The European Architectural Barometer
provides key information on how
architects orientate themselves, how
digital they are, BIM usage, prefab and
much more. Information which is vital for
a good marketing strategy and essential
for internal discussions.
• Trends and themes will be repeated in 1,2
or 3 year intervals. This way, trendlines
and predictions can be made.
• A lot of information can be found on
building volumes or the construction
industry as a whole, however specific
information on the architectural market is
hard to find. The European Architectural
Barometer provides just that.
• It is always hard to compare different
types of research with different types of
methodology. Especially if you want to
have a country by country comparison.
Trends will not be the same or develop at
the same rate in the different countries.
• The European Architectural Barometer is
conducted in 8 countries with the
same methodology and questionnaire
(small local differences aside and in the
native language) making the results highly
comparable.
• Not only the trends can be compared
country by country, but also the order
book & turnover developments from
architects. This information is highly
valuable to asses market conditions and
sales feedback.
• The report has, when relevant, also a
European perspective, but always with
results split per country as well.

No fear for set-back in most stable sector of Europe
▪ Growth figures in the German construction market might not be spectacular, but the German market has proved itself to be one of the most steady markets in the European construction sector.
And still Germany remains the engine of European construction. There is a very positive sentiment among architects as their order books remain full and their order book development is very
positive quarter on quarter.
▪ Most indicators show a clear positive sentiment in Q4, which leads to positive predictions for next years. The German construction sector is expected to grow by 3.4% in 2018 and 3.6% in 2019.

are mentioned in multiple countries.
▪ In the UK Kingspan stands out as leader in the construction sector.
▪ Furthermore it is remarkable that Dutch and Polish architects in general could mention less brands when they were asked about a leader in the sector. In the Netherlands app. 70% could not
mention a leader in the sector, in Poland half of the architects couldn’t.
