Despite a fall in housing activity, total construction output in the UK has continued to grow, according to the latest S&P Global UK Construction index. The figures were boosted by commercial growth, with a slower increase in civil engineering activity, as well as a decrease in housing activity, where output fell solidly following the first increase in 19 months during May. Reports indicate that the overall increase in activity was driven by the acquisition of new contracts in the period since February, along with successful tendering processes and increased client engagement. The growth rate in new business however was modest and the slowest since February, and uncertainty has been linked to the general election, which was a contributing factor of the slowdown of new project inflows. The use of subcontractors has also been on the increase, with both the growth of subcontract usage from companies and higher levels of subcontractors becoming available. Post-election, confidence in construction sector growth is set to continue at a pace, with increases in sector employment and supply chain conditions looking favourable. There is also an expectation that house building output will increase at a greater rate over the coming year, further bolstering the sector's outlook.
