Construction output increased in January following three-month decline

Monthly construction output is estimated to have increased 1.1% in volume terms in January 2024, per data from the Office of National Statistics (ONS). This follows three consecutive monthly falls, with the monthly value in levels terms at £15,422m in January 2024.

The increase in monthly output came from increases in both new work of 1.1% and repair and maintenance of 1.2%.

At the sector level, six out of the nine sectors saw a rise in January 2024; the main contributors to the monthly increase were private new housing, and non-housing repair and maintenance, which increased 2.6% and 1.9% respectively.

Prior to this increase, construction output is estimated to have decreased 0.9% in the three months to January 2024. This decrease came solely from a decrease in new work, with a 4.5% fall, as repair and maintenance increased by 4.0%.

The decrease over the three months came from infrastructure new work and private housing new work, which fell 9.3% and 5.2%, respectively; with the main positive contributions coming from non-housing repair and maintenance, and private housing repair and maintenance, which increased 3.2% and 3.3%, respectively.
