Abstract

The report investigates how professional service firms within the construction industry grow and the consequences of fast growth. It is particularly interesting in learning about the factors contributing to varying rates of growth along the four major growth dimensions. The research attempts to answer propositions which have been generated from the application of well known theories, looking at the objectives and constraints to growth illustrated in the literature review. Primary (company account) sources are used for collecting data which is analysed using both quantitative and empirical methods. The analysis of the data will present factors intrinsic to varying rates of growth and the findings of this report will offer a discussion as to whether firms growing at different rates tend to show a balanced. The report will then make recommendations for further action which are based upon the findings and experiences encountered from this research.
