Construction output grew by 8.2% in May following the
record decline of 40.2% in April 2020, according to the latest Office for
National Statistics (ONS) report. Output fell by a record 29.8% in the three
months to May 2020, compared with the previous three-month period. This was
driven by record falls of 30.3% in new work and 28.9% in repair and
maintenance. The decrease in new work (30.3%) in the three months to May was
thanks to record falls in most of the new work sectors – private new housing
and private commercial were the largest contributors, falling by 42.5% and
29.5% respectively. Read more on the pbcToday website.
