Market View UK - Winter 2012/13
Despite a weak recovery in construction output at
the end of 2012, concern about the UK economy continue to make it
very difficult for the construction sector. Workload is expected to
fall in 2013 and as a result tender prices are not expected to
recover until 2014.

Despite the end of the UK recession, the
continued poor showing of the construction sector and the weakening
world recovery is depressing the construction market. The two
sectors which hold up some promise are the private residential
sector and infrastructure.

Continued uncertainty about the fate of the Euro has kept
markets depressed and the UK has slipped into double dip recession.
Construction workload continues to suffer with no sign of the
private sector stepping in to replace the cuts in public sector
investment. Hungry contractors are continuing to chase for workload
and tender prices are still depressed.

A degree of optimism in early 2011 that the worst was behind us
can now be seen to have been misplaced and uncertainty about the UK
and European economies together with a slowdown in construction
orders means that confidence has been further eroded. As a result,
recovery in construction tender prices has been pushed back further
and no real positive movement is expected until 2013.
