The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS<\/a>) figures for construction output have shown a slight increase for the three months to September<\/h2>\n

Construction output figures for Quarter 3 (July to Sept) showed have crept up to 2.1% and continued to recover despite a relatively weak start to the year.<\/p>\n

The recent data follows a fall of 1.6% in Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2018 and an increase of 0.8% in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2018.<\/p>\n

It is suggested the increase for Quarter 3 was\u00a0driven by all new work which increased by 2.8%, and repair and maintenance which increased by 1.0%.<\/p>\n

The level of the all work series for September 2018 reached \u00a313,995 million \u2013 a record high since monthly records began in January 2010.<\/p>\n

Quarter 3 also saw output increase to \u00a3872 million compared with Quarter 2 2018.<\/p>\n

The most notable contribution to growth came from private housing<\/a> work, which increased by \u00a3507 million between Quarter 2 2018 and Quarter 3 2018.<\/p>\n

In addition, other notable calendar quarter growth came from non-housing repair and maintenance and infrastructure, increasing by \u00a3230 million and \u00a3191 million respectively.<\/p>\n

Commenting on construction<\/a> figures\u00a0Clive Docwra, Managing Director of\u00a0leading\u00a0construction consulting and design agency\u00a0McBains<\/a><\/u>, said:\u00a0\u201cToday\u2019s figures are encouraging and show that the industry is building some momentum \u2013 with three-month on three-month growth recorded again”<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, issues such as Brexit<\/a> and the high cost of imported materials are still hanging over the sector and holding back key investment decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecruitment is also a growing issue, with wages of scarce skilled tradespeople continuing to rise and the future status of EU-workers in the UK still unclear beyond March 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
