After enduring a prolonged downturn, the UK construction sector witnessed a notable turnaround in March, marking the end of a six-month decline and hinting at a potential recovery<\/h2>\n

March construction PMI has shown signs of improvement, as industry activity rises from 49.7 in February to 50.2 in March.<\/p>\n

Although the rise in activity in the UK construction sector was only fractional, the latest index was at its highest level since August 2023.<\/p>\n

Civil engineering<\/a> was the best-performing segment in March, as output levels increased at a marginal pace.<\/p>\n

Residential projects showed the most robust performance since November 2022<\/h3>\n

Participants noted heightened activity in infrastructure projects and sustained demand in the energy sector.<\/p>\n

While little change was observed in house and commercial construction in March, residential projects demonstrated notable stability, marking their most robust performance since November 2022.<\/p>\n

Data for March indicated a moderate uptick in new projects secured by construction firms.<\/p>\n

The pace of expansion has been accelerating since February and reached its highest point in ten months.<\/p>\n

March construction PMI signalled a reduction in staffing<\/h3>\n

In contrast to the positive trends for output and new orders, the latest data signalled another reduction in staffing.<\/p>\n

However, this was only marginal and\u00a0eased since the previous month. At the same time, sub-contractor usage was stable in March.<\/p>\n

The latest survey indicated a strong improvement in sub-contractor availability. Rates charged by sub-contractors increased at the fastest pace since August 2023. Purchasing costs rose for the third month running in March.<\/p>\n

Political uncertainty, tight profit margins and financial pressures may restrict growth<\/h3>\n

Construction firms maintain a positive outlook regarding their business prospects over the next year.<\/p>\n

Nearly half of the surveyed panel, approximately 49%, anticipate an increase in output levels, while only 11% foresee a decline.<\/p>\n

However, this optimism has slightly waned since February, reaching its lowest point in 2024 so far.<\/p>\n

Survey participants commonly remarked on stronger order books and expressed hope for broader improvements in market conditions, particularly concerning housebuilding projects.<\/a><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, factors such as political uncertainty, tight profit margins, and financial pressures were cited as dampening factors on this optimism.<\/p>\n

Construction industry comment<\/h3>\n

Tim Moore, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said: “UK construction output returned to growth in March as a renewed expansion of civil engineering work was supported by more stable conditions in the housing and commercial building segments.<\/p>\n

“The marginal overall rise in total construction activity ended a six-month period of contraction.<\/p>\n

“The near-term outlook for construction workloads appears increasingly favourable as order books improved again in March and to the greatest extent for just under one year. Construction companies generally commented on a broad based rebound in tender opportunities, helped by easing borrowing costs and signs that UK economic conditions have started to recover in the first quarter of 2024.”<\/p>\n

The turnaround has begun in the construction sector<\/h3>\n

Michael Wynne, director of the sustainable housebuilder\u00a0Q New Homes<\/a>, commented: \u201cIt says a lot about how bad things had got for housebuilders that a return to zero growth is progress.<\/p>\n

“With rents still rising and the cost of borrowing slowly coming down, the dream of owning a home burns bright for many would-be first-time buyers. As affordability improves, demand for homes should pick up.<\/p>\n

\u201cBritain\u2019s chronic housing shortage is also shaping up to be a key election issue, with several political parties unveiling plans to help get more homes built.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanning delays remain a major choke point for developers, but with material cost inflation cooling and the prospect of further falls of interest rates, industry sentiment is holding up well.<\/p>\n

\u201cHalf of contractors now predict an increase in activity during the coming months, and the turnaround has begun \u2013 even if it\u2019s happening at oil tanker pace.\u201d<\/p>\n
