IHS MARKIT / CIPS UK Construction Survey
Construction growth reaches four-month high in November according to the latest Markit/CIPS UK PMI Construction survey.
Key findings:-
-
Solid expansion of overall construction output
-
Residential work reclaims its place as best performing area of construction activity
-
Job creation accelerates to its fastest since December 2015
"November data pointed to a solid expansion of UK construction output, which was supported by a broad-based upturn in the three sub-categories of activity monitored by the survey. Growth of new work picked up since October and rising client demand underpinned a robust and accelerated expansion of employment. The rate of job creation was the fastest since December 2015. However, business confidence remained relatively subdued, with survey respondents noting that Brexit-related concerns had weighed on their growth projections for the next 12 months."..........
