Output growth is forecast at a measly 1.5% this year, down from last autumn\u2019s 4.0%. Private housing rm&amp;i is even forecast to contract by 1.0%.<\/p>\n<p>CPA head of construction research, Rebecca Larkin, said: \u201cWe enter 2026 with little to suggest that the conditions that held back construction over the last 12 months are improving: slow economic growth, weak business and consumer confidence and risk aversion resulting in subdued activity in the major sectors of construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith hopes of a recovery consistently dashed last year, firms in the construction supply chain are bracing themselves for another difficult year that is still laced with risks, challenges and uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, there are two main primary questions remaining. Firstly, when will confidence improve enough to see homebuyers, homeowners and investors press ahead with large spending decisions and drive a pickup in house building, home improvements and large private sector projects. Secondly, will government introduce a much-needed policy to enable demand in a housing market and house building sector given that affordability remains a key constraint?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUntil then, the 1.7% growth that is forecast for construction is pinned on niche areas of activity such as commercial fit-out and refurbishment, infrastructure work on energy and water networks, as well as the effective delivery of public sector building programmes for schools, hospitals and prisons.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Other organisations concur<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/bmf-industry-forecast-predicts-real-growth-until-h2-2026\/158230\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Earlier this month,<\/a> the Builders Merchants Federation (BMF) released their own industry forecast which had similar gloomy prospects for the year, but expected growth to rise in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The BMF\u2019s summer report predicted a growth of 2.5% in 2026, but this has dropped to 1.4%, as data points to continued stagnation.<\/p>\n<p>John Newcomb, CEO of the BMF, said: \u201cInitially, we saw a glimmer of growth in building material sales in the first six months of 2025, but the positive trend stalled and the anticipated turnaround for the third quarter of the year failed to materialise.<br \/>\n\u201cInstead Q3 was heavily impacted by economic shocks, with a sharp contraction in August despite the hottest summer on record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was compounded by housebuilders adopting a cautious approach ahead of the Autumn Budget, which ultimately fell short of delivering the stimulus required to reignite the housing market, as well as a fall in consumer confidence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CPA winter forecast has been revised down to 1.7%, when the previous forecast was at 2.8%, reflecting the gloomy outlook for the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":158674,"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":[583,908],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-158670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning-construction-news","8":"tag-construction-products","9":"tag-economy"},"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>CPA winter forecast lowers expectations<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The CPA winter forecast has been revised down to 1.7%, when the previous forecast was at 2.8%, reflecting the gloomy outlook for the year\" \/>\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\/cpa-winter-forecast-lowers-expectations\/158670\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CPA winter forecast lowers expectations\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The CPA winter forecast has been revised down to 1.7%, when the previous forecast was at 2.8%, reflecting the gloomy outlook for the year\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/cpa-winter-forecast-lowers-expectations\/158670\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
