Tender prices are expected to perform better this year than in 2021, however as contractor\u2019s pipelines weaken, prices will begin to plummet, says Mace<\/a><\/h2>\n

Mace says while new orders will recover from the 50% Q2 decline, contractors may need to become more aggressive in finding replacement work.<\/p>\n

As a result of the lockdown, productivity dropped by 11.4% in Q2 2020, giving an early indication of the impact of social distancing measures<\/a> implemented on construction sites, according to Mace\u2019s latest UK market view for Q3 2020.<\/p>\n

Construction has also been hit by an 18% decline in the number of hours worked in the second quarter, with the number of workers on payroll falling 730,000 since March 2020.<\/p>\n

As government support \u2013 such as the furlough scheme<\/a> \u2013 lessens, firms will have to make some hard choices and it appears certain that unemployment will rise.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, returning to pre-Covid-19<\/a> output levels will be difficult, due to social distancing regulations remaining in place and limiting potential output.<\/p>\n

Brexit uncertainty may dampen the recovery and keep contractors even more competitive with their tenders, says the report.<\/p>\n

An increasing appetite for future work<\/h3>\n

Steven Mason, managing director for cost consultancy at Mace, commented: \u201cAs the economy continues through the early stages of recovery, the construction industry has proved so far to be remarkably resilient.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe focus upon managing the immediate disruption caused by labour and material shortages and drops in output and productivity may have dissipated, but the mitigation of the ongoing impact of Covid-19 and an impending Brexit deadline will continue to have a major influence on the market and tender prices<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe unprecedented drop in new orders in Q2 has compounded the growing sentiment that our industry faces a turbulent time ahead, and there will be increased pressure on the supply chain to secure workload at any cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn spite of expected further fluctuations in input costs we expect this increasing appetite to secure future work to continue to suppress tender prices for the remainder of 2020 and throughout 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n
