UK Construction Market Forecast 2010 - 2013 | www.lead-edge.co.uk
Our recently issued report forecasts that total GB construction output volume in 2011 will be down by 2.3% on 2010. The fall is mainly a result of a reduction in output in the public sectors as the government cuts start to bite.

Total construction output in GB in 2010 is forecast to be £89,900m at constant 2005 prices which is 2.1% down (£2,000m) on the 2009 figure.
