Private sector housing leads strong growth in construction sector

Private sector building has managed to lead the way in the housing sector’s growth across the whole of the UK over the last quarter, the latest statistical figures supplied by the NHBC were able to point out.

The total number of new homes registered across both the private and public sectors in the UK for Q2 2014 totalled 36,858, the majority of which were in the private sector – a healthy 9% compared to same period last year.

NHBC’s Chief Executive Mike Quinton said: “It is encouraging to see that house building levels have continued to grow in 2014 – following the substantial increase in volumes recorded last year. We hope to see this growth further consolidated throughout the rest of the year.

“However, we have been clear that the UK still has an under supply of new homes so we must continue to work hard to meet the growing housing needs of the population.”

This proves once more that there’s a strong need for skilled workers in this segment and managing all of these new additions could prove to be a fairly difficult task, in certain specific situations.
