0.3% GROWTH IN TOTAL CONSTRUCTION OUTPUT Q2 COMPARED TO Q1

Published September 7, 2026

The Office for National Statistics has published estimates of Construction Output for June 2026.

This shows that total construction output is estimated to have grown by 0.3% in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2026 compared with Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2026; both new work and repair and maintenance grew by 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively.

At the sector level, five out of the nine sectors grew in Quarter 2 2026; the main positive contribution to the increase was infrastructure new work, which grew by 1.9%.

Monthly construction output is estimated to have fallen by 0.1% in June 2026, this follows a decrease of 0.8% in May 2026, and a decrease of 0.1% in April 2026.

Even though we saw falls into each month of Quarter 2 2026, overall the level of output in Quarter 2 was higher than in Quarter 1 2026; the fall into April 2026 was because of a particularly strong March 2026.
