Wales is showing strong signs of economic resilience, with the latest figures from the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) revealing a 15.4% rise in sales of building materials in March compared to the same time last year. This performance puts Wales ahead of the rest of the UK and paints an encouraging picture for the housebuilding sector.

In addition, Wales led the UK in the first quarter of 2025 with a 5.9% year-on-year increase in materials sales. The BMF’s Building Materials Building Index (BMBI) is widely seen as an important indicator of construction and housing market activity, and these latest numbers are a welcome boost for businesses and developers across the region.

At SECUREIT, we work closely with residential developers across South Wales and the South-West of England, helping them secure development sites with smart, cost-effective, and scalable security solutions. From site-wide CCTV systems and monitored alarms to fire prevention measures and access control, our services play a vital role in keeping developments safe, compliant, and running on time.

Managing Director Philip Popham welcomed the news:
“The positive momentum in the Welsh construction sector reflects not only economic confidence but also ongoing investment in housing and infrastructure. We’re proud to support this growth by delivering trusted, high-quality security solutions that developers can depend on. Our goal is always to be a proactive partner on site, helping projects proceed smoothly from start to finish.”
