The Office for National Statistics published estimates of Construction Output for June 2025, along with New Order and Construction Output Price Indices for Quarter 2 2025 this morning.

Main points:
• Total construction output is estimated to have grown by 1.2% in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2025 compared with Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2025; new work increased by 1.1%, and repair and maintenance grew by 1.4%.

• The increase in monthly output in June 2025 came solely from an increase in repair and maintenance (1.2%), as new work decreased by 0.4%.
• At the sector level, five out of the nine sectors grew in June 2025; the main contributors to the monthly increase were private housing repair and maintenance and non-housing repair and maintenance, which grew by 3.7% and 0.8%, respectively.
• Total construction new orders fell by 8.3% (£976 million) in Quarter 2 2025 compared with Quarter 1 2025; this quarterly decrease came mainly from infrastructure new work and private commercial new work.
