Construction industry output in the year to April 2008 was up 2 per cent on the previous year, according to the Office fo National Statistics.
Despite the positive note, figures from ONS suggest output is slowing on a month by month basis. Included in this figure was a four per cent rise in new build projects on the back of increases in infrastructure, private commercial and public housing work.
However, private housing output slumped, down 5 per cent. |
