August Construction Update from the Department for Business & Trade

The Office for National Statistics published estimates of Construction Output for June 2026 

Main points:

• Total construction output is estimated to have grown by 0.3% in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2026 compared with Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2026; both new work and repair and maintenance grew by 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively.
At the sector level, five out of the nine sectors grew in Quarter 2 2026; the main positive contribution to the increase was infrastructure new work, which grew by 1.9%.
Monthly construction output is estimated to have fallen by 0.1% in June 2026, this follows a decrease of 0.8% in May 2026, and a decrease of 0.1% in April 2026.
Even though we saw falls into each month of Quarter 2 2026, overall the level of output in Quarter 2 was higher than in Quarter 1 2026; the fall into April 2026 was because of a particularly strong March 2026.
