Construction output is still expected to rise in 2025 and 2026, although weaker UK growth prospects and a slow start to construction activity in 2025 point towards more subdued rates of construction growth than in previous publications.

Overall, total construction output is forecast to grow by 1.9% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026. The forecast for Spring is a slight downward revision compared with the 2.0% and 4.0% growth in 2025 and 2026 that was expected in Winter.

• Construction output rises by 1.9% in 2025 and 3.7% in 2026
