This report is a study of Balfour Beattys performance benchmarked against AMEC AMEC African Methodist Episcopal Church AMEC Agent Mediated Electronic Commerce AMEC Arctic Military Environmental Cooperation AMEC Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment Inc AMEC Association of Media Evaluation Companies , Carillion and Alfred McAlpine. Balfour Beatty is the largest UK-listed construction group (by market capitalization). It is seeking growth through investment in public-private partnerships (PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The most popular method for transporting IP packets over a serial link between the user and the ISP. Developed in 1994 by the IETF and superseding the SLIP protocol, PPP establishes the session between the user's computer and the ISP using ), as well as expansion of its core engineering and construction operations overseas. Factors, such as the UK government's commitment to PFI PFI Pay for Inclusion (web search engines) PFI Private Finance Initiative PFI Private Finance Initiative (UK) PFI Prison Fellowship International PFI Port Fuel Injection (engines) projects, an upswing in the demand for housing and outsourcing of facilities management, have been driving the business of the construction companies in the UK. Balfour Beatty's growth has been driven by its success in the UK PFI market, a strong balance sheet and record order books. Carillion is likely to become Balfour Beattys strongest competitor, as it has refocused on the lower-risk segments in construction services and towards support services and PPP. AMEC, one of the leading construction services companies in the UK, has a highly leveraged balance sheet and volatile cash flow. Therefore, it is unlikely to pose a threat to Balfour. Alfred McAlpine, though small in terms of scale of operations, is well-positioned in high-growth markets. The report incorporates a SWOT analysis of Balfour Beatty, AMEC, Carillion and Alfred McAlpine. Detailed analysis gives a clear perspective on strategies adopted for various business segments, such as building management and services, civil and specialist engineering services, rail engineering and services, investments and developments in property.
