Chapter 7 in The Modern Construction Firm, 1990, pp 91-111 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Table 1.2 shows that of the top thirty-five firms with major building and civil engineering interests, excluding subsidiaries of conglomerates, seven were private limited companies. Among these firms, half were ‘family-type’ either in the sense that the combined family-related shareholdings of large shareholders effectively gives them financial control, or in the sense that a number of directors are members of the same family and hold management control. This is a quite remarkable situation, when compared with the ownership and control met in other industries.
