About Us
2
Early signs suggest that the UK economic growth has been subdued with less buoyant conditions across all sectors.
Sentiment surveys indicate the UK economy has had a slower start
to 2016 with Markit’s all sector PMI survey showing a slowdown in
activity in January and February, and predicting slowing growth in
the fi rst quarter (see Fig. 1.1).
All sectors in the PMI index have showed signs of slowing hence
the more cautious view of economic performance in 2016. The
Construction PMI recorded a reading of 54.2 in February, a
decrease from 55.0 in January but still well above the 50.0 mark
which indicates expansion (see Fig. 1.2).
The latest infl ation fi gures show a slight increase but the level is
still well below the target of 2%. CPI increased to 0.3% in January
compared to the same month in 2015, the third consecutive month
that this occurred (see Fig. 1.3).
The labour market continued its strong performance with the
latest unemployment fi gures showing that the current claimant
count rate remained at 5.1% at the start of 2016 (see Fig. 1.4).
This demonstrates the continual improvement in labour market
conditions in recent months and this looks set to continue.
Other news this month on the UK economy includes:
� The pound fell to a seven year low against the dollar amid
concern with the prospect of European Union exit and the
current account defi cit
� The Bank of England showed that unsecured lending to households
grew 9.1% in January, the highest level for over 10 years
� A survey by KPMG showed that Britain was second in the global
most competitive tax authorities, second only to Ireland

THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR
CONTRACTS AWARDED GROW BY 4.2% IN FEBRUARYSlight improvement in offi cial fi gures for 2015 showing construction is growing at a steady pace despite monthly fl uctuations.
The latest fi gures from the ONS show that the construction
sector in the UK declined by 0.2% between January 2016 and
December 2015. Comparing January output levels with the same
month in 2015 showed a decrease of 0.8% (see Fig. 2.1). This fall
was unexpected but it should be noted that the monthly fi gures
for construction output are often volatile and the previous three
months data had been signifi cantly revised upwards.
It is clear that the main reason for the fall this month was the
reduction in infrastructure activity which declined by 5.8%
compared to January 2015 and 8.6% compared to December
2015. New Private Housing increased by 4.8% from January 2015
and was up by 0.6% compared to December 2015. Public housing
output declined by 20.2% compared to January 2015 and 10.6%
compared to December 2015 though this is a signifi cantly smaller
sector than private housing. This highlights that the growth patterns
within the industry are still reliant on private housing although the
growth in private commercial, if sustained, is encouraging.
The CPA/Barbour ABI Index which measures the level of contracts
awarded using January 2010 as its base month, recorded a reading
of 126 for February (see Fig. 2.2). This is a slight decrease from
last month but continues to support the view that overall activity
in the industry remains strong. The readings for residential and
commercial fell but industrial factories rebounded.
Construction SectorAccording to Barbour ABI data on all contract activity, February
witnessed an increase in construction levels with the value of new
contracts awarded £5.6 billion, based on a three month rolling
average (see Fig. 2.4). This is a 4.2% increase from January and an
11.6% increase on the value recorded in February 2015. The number
of construction projects within the UK in February increased by
11.6% on January, and were 6.4% higher than February 2015.
Projects by RegionThe majority of the contracts awarded in February by value were
in the East of England region, accounting for 29% of the UK total.
This is followed by London and the North West with 16% and
9% of contract award value respectively (see Fig. 2.3). The main
reason for East of England’s fi gures this month was the £1.8 billion
contract to construct East Anglia One offshore wind farm.

The Construction Sector
654
Continuing recent trends the offshore renewables sector in the UK
appears to be thriving with a number of high value projects in the
pipeline. The largest construction project by value in London was
the Woolwich Estates regeneration project which aims to deliver
1500 homes in the Connaught Estate and has a project value of
£262 million.
Types of ProjectResidential had the highest proportion of contracts awarded by
value in February with 39% of the total. The infrastructure sector
was close behind with 33% of the contract value awarded (see
Fig. 2.5). This is an indication of the continuing strength of the
residential sector within construction, showing that while the top
end of the residential market appears to be cooling, activity in
the new build market remains strong. In addition, the prominence
of the infrastructure sector contracts in February provides
encouragement for longer term growth in the industry, as it is
historically one of the biggest sectors within construction.
