Monthly Construction Industry Analysis

February 2010: A slow start to the New Year

  • 8% drop in value of projects starting on site
  • Non-residential Index down 14%

The construction industry suffered a slow start to the New Year, with poor weather continuing to hamper activity on site. The Glenigan Index for January recorded an 8% drop year-on-year in the value of projects starting on site.

Private housing projects have been especially vulnerable to disruption from the poor weather, temporarily halting the pick-up in new private housing projects seen during the autumn of 2009. The Residential Index for January was 1% down on a year ago, despite an increase in social housing projects.

The Non-residential Index for January was 14% down on a year ago due to the continued weakness of the private industrial and commercial sectors, combined with fewer government funded fewer health and community & amenity projects.

The Civil Engineering Index slipped back during January and was only 2% up on a year ago. Last autumn’s surge in rail and national road projects has lost momentum in recent months. In contrast the flow of utilities projects has remained firm.
