Survey respondents commented on subdued sales pipelines and a subsequent lack of infrastructure work to replace completed projects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Commercial work also saw a headwind from delayed decision-making on major projects, largely due to worries about the impact of rising global economic uncertainty. The downturn in residential construction activity nonetheless eased since February, providing a source of encouragement despite ongoing reports of sluggish demand conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Construction companies remained cautious about their year ahead growth prospects, as fewer sales conversions and a third successive monthly reduction in total new work hit confidence levels. Overall business optimism slipped to its lowest since October 2023.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lack of new projects, alongside pressure on margins from rising payroll costs, led to hiring freezes and the non-replacement of departing staff in March. The net result was the fastest pace of job shedding across the construction sector for nearly four-and-a-half years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The S&#038;P March 2025 PMIs show a further decline in construction activity for the third month running, with civil engineering the hardest hit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":150079,"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":[908,974],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-150065","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-economy","9":"tag-pmi"},"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>S&amp;P March 2025 PMI shows yet another contraction in activity<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The S&amp;P March 2025 PMIs show a further decline in construction activity for the third month running, with civil engineering the hardest hit\" \/>\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\/sp-march-2025-pmi-shows-yet-another-contraction-in-activity\/150065\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"S&amp;P March 2025 PMI shows yet another contraction in activity\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The S&amp;P March 2025 PMIs show a further decline in construction activity for the third month running, with civil engineering the hardest hit\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/sp-march-2025-pmi-shows-yet-another-contraction-in-activity\/150065\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
