The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures for construction output have shown a slight increase for the three months to September
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.
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. It is suggested the increase for Quarter 3 was driven by all new work which increased by 2.8%, and repair and maintenance which increased by 1.0%.
The level of the all work series for September 2018 reached £13,995 million – a record high since monthly records began in January 2010. Quarter 3 also saw output increase to £872 million compared with Quarter 2 2018.
The most notable contribution to growth came from private housing work, which increased by £507 million between Quarter 2 2018 and Quarter 3 2018.
In addition, other notable calendar quarter growth came from non-housing repair and maintenance and infrastructure, increasing by £230 million and £191 million respectively.
