We subscribe to several company information databases that allow you to build lists of companies active within a specified sector. These databases are listed below with hints on useful activity classifications for the real estate and construction.

Sabi and Amadeus

Sabi contains company data for 900,000 public and private Spanish companies.
Amadeus covers 250,000 public and private European companies.

Both databases are available via Library > E-Resources > By Alphabetical order . They can be accessed on or off campus.

Within Sabi or Amadeus, select Expert search, then use the options under Activity. It is usually better to select companies using one of the company classification schemes available rather than searching the activity description. Below are some suggestions for useful classifications to add to your search using the CNAE/NACE 1.1 Rev scheme:

70. Real estate activities

701. Real estate activities with own or leased property
7011. Development and selling of real estate
7012. Buying and selling of own or leased real estate
702. Letting of own property
703. Real estate activities on a fee or contract basis
7031. Real estate agencies
7032. Management of real estate on a fee or contract basis

Add as little or as many codes to your search as you like.  After running your search, click the List tab to see the matching companies and on the company names to see the company reports.
