All other UK regions registered a decline compared with the year before.<\/p>\n<p>London posted the weakest period for project-starts, with the value declining 55% compared with the preceding three months to stand 62% lower than a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>The East Midlands and Scotland both endured steep falls during the three months to August to stand 37% and 35% lower than the same time last year.<\/p>\n<h3>Amid economic uncertainty and external factors, industry recovery remains sluggish<\/h3>\n<p>Industry recovery continues to be held back by a variety of external factors including ongoing supply chain issues and rising energy costs as materials inflation continues to accelerate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/ukraine-conflict-impact-uk-construction-projects\/110166\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">due to the Russia-Ukraine War<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Delayed project-starts continue to squeeze the sector and a recent drop-off in contract awards and planning approvals derail the strong developmental pipeline of early 2022.<\/p>\n<h3>Residential project-starts plummeted 28% against the previous year<\/h3>\n<p>Residential project-starts weakened significantly during the three months to August, with the value falling 38% against the preceding three months to stand 28% lower than a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the August Index, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/the-road-to-net-zero-retrofitting-social-housing\/113128\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social housing project<\/a>-start performance was especially poor, declining 38% against the preceding three months and standing 40% down on the same time last year.<\/p>\n<p>Private housing-starts also faltered, declining 38% against the previous three months and dropping 24% compared with a year ago.<\/p>\n<h3>Non-residential project-starts are down 34% compared with a year ago<\/h3>\n<p>Overall, non-residential project-starts experienced across-the-board decline, falling 31% against the preceding three-month period and 34% compared with the year before.<\/p>\n<p>Civil engineering-starts posted the largest fall of any non-residential sector vertical, dropping 27% against the preceding three months and 25% compared to a year ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/how-digital-technologies-enhance-infrastructure-resilience\/114803\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Infrastructure and utilities<\/a> project-starts also tumbled, falling a quarter and a third respectively during the three months to August, and both by a quarter against the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a strong performance in the first half of 2022, industrial project-starts declined 25% against the preceding three months as well as 27% compared to a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Commercial offices also continued on their recent downward spiral following a spurt of post-Pandemic activity, experiencing the steepest fall of any sector. Project-starts declined by more than half (-51%) against the preceding three months to stand 48% down on the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Health and education construction-starts weakened too, with starts on site falling by a third and 18% against the three months to August, respectively. Both verticals experienced a value decline against the previous year, with health project-starts falling back by a fifth and education project-starts dropping down 36%.<\/p>\n<p>Hotel and leisure remained largely unchanged, with starts dipping a modest 2% compared with the preceding three-month period.<\/p>\n<p>However, the decline was more noticeable when measured against the same time in 2021 (-38%). Vice-versa, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/featured\/community-heart-sustainable-places\/113088\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">community and amenity project-starts<\/a> fell down 51% against the preceding three months, but only declined 5% compared with the year before.<\/p>\n<h3>Seeing the impact of a gloomy short-term outlook in the index<\/h3>\n<p>Commenting on the findings in the August Index, Glenigan\u2019s economics director Allan Wilen says, \u201cThe sharp drop in project-starts is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/august-construction-pmis-show-construction-activity-continues-to-dip-amid-economic-uncertainty\/115132\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a disappointing yet unsurprising turn of events<\/a>. Recovery continues to be hampered by materials, energy and fuel inflation caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, and now inflation spikes, higher taxes and more stringent building regulations are catching up with construction firms and constraining activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe uncertain economic outlook has prompted construction firms to reappraise and revise projects, resulting in a shrinking development pipeline. It\u2019s now having a knock on effect on project-starts. This lull in activity is likely to continue in the near future, but I am confident that there is light at the end of the tunnel.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glenigan September 2022 Construction Index highlights a downward trend across most sectors, showing decreased project starts in housebuilding and non-residential projects<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[676,908,636,572,571,579,639,592],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-115328","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-economy","9":"tag-engineering","10":"tag-housebuilding","11":"tag-housing-crisis","12":"tag-infrastructure","13":"tag-procurement","14":"tag-skills"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Glenigan September 2022 Construction Index shows a fall in project-starts<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Glenigan September 2022 Construction Index highlights a downward trend across most sectors, showing a decrease in the number of project starts\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/glenigan-september-2022-construction-index-shows-a-fall-in-project-starts\/115328\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Glenigan September 2022 Construction Index shows a fall in project-starts\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Glenigan September 2022 Construction Index highlights a downward trend across most sectors, showing decreased project starts in housebuilding and non-residential projects\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/glenigan-september-2022-construction-index-shows-a-fall-in-project-starts\/115328\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
