In the United Kingdom, construction output measures the yearly change in the amount charged by construction companies to customers for value of work. The value is based on the sample of 8,000 businesses, employing over 100 people or with an annual turnover of more than £60 million. Construction estimates are a component of GDP from the production approach, contributing approximately 6.4% of GDP.

Latest Updates

UK construction output rose 1.3% year-on-year in September 2025, accelerating from a marginally revised 1.1% growth in the previous month and topping market expectations of 1.2%. It marked the 14th consecutive monthly increase, driven by new work, which expanded at the fastest pace in four months (2.5% vs 1.3% in August). Meanwhile, repair and maintenance fell for the first time since May (-0.5% vs 0.7%). On a monthly basis, construction output rose 0.2%, reversing a revised 0.5% decline in August, supported entirely by new work (0.7%) as repair and maintenance dropped (-0.5%). For Q3 2025, total construction output edged up 0.1% quarter-on-quarter, with new work down slightly (-0.2%) but repair and maintenance rising 0.6%.
