Highlights
Construction output in Great Britain: November 2018
What's in the bulletin?
- Construction output recorded an all-time level high in November 2018 in the chained volume measure seasonally adjusted series; the month-on-on series grew by 0.6%, resulting in the total value of construction output exceeding £14 billion for the first time since monthly records began in 2010.
- This was driven primarily by strong growth in private new housing, private commercial new work, and public housing repair and maintenance, which increased by 3.1%, 2.3%, and 5.8% respectively.
- The main factors acting to depress growth were a steep decline in public other new work, down 5.8%, as well as a drop in infrastructure, which decreased by 2.5%.
