Output growth experienced in the construction sector

Output in the construction sector rose by 0.5% in March 2025

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the construction sector in the UK saw a 0.5% rise in output in March 2025.

This highlights a gradual improvement in the sector, after a 0.2% rise in February, and January seeing a 0.3% decline.

Both key areas within the construction sector, new work and repair and maintenance, both saw an increase from the month previous, up 0.6% and 0.4% respectively.

Of the nine sub-sectors that make up construction, 5 of those reported growth in March, with infrastructure new work seeing the greatest rise of 2.5%.

In the first quarter of 2025, new construction orders saw an increase of 26.6%, with the value of those orders amounting to over £2.4 billion, a potential sign of positive future activity for the sector.

Finance in the construction sector

Purchasing construction equipment may not be viable for many businesses due to the high upfront costs of the assets. Construction finance allows businesses to purchase expensive equipment, providing the opportunity to those businesses to grow and invest in new assets.
