Solid rise in construction activity recorded in Q3, 2014

The majority of firms involved in the construction segment, from SMEs to large contractors, reported an increase in activity over Q3, 2014, the latest survey by the Construction Products Association (CPA) was able to reveal.

Commenting on the survey, Dr Noble Francis, Economics Director at the CPA, said: “Construction firms reported growth once again in the third quarter of 2014, the sixth consecutive rise in activity for the first time in six and a half years. Activity rose in the third quarter according to 60% of contractors, on balance.”

“Construction firms also reported rises in forward looking indicators such as orders and enquiries, which clearly indicate that activity will rise throughout 2015. A rise in Q3 order books in private housing was reported by 15% of contractors, on balance. A further 13% and 12% of firms reported rises, on balance, in orders books across private industrial and public non-housing (education and health) respectively.”
