Budget Jitters Impact Construction Forecasts
Construction output forecasts have plummeted, with total output now expected to grow by only 1.1% in 2025 and 2.8% in 2026, down from previous predictions of 1.9% and 3.7% respectively.
Firms across the construction supply chain are reporting slowed activity since Spring, particularly in private housing, infrastructure roads, and commercial new build offices.
- Private housing output is forecast to rise by 2.0% in 2025 and 4.0% in 2026, revised down from previous forecasts of 4.0% and 7.0%.
- House builders cite demand and affordability as major challenges in areas with high house prices.
- In areas with more affordable house prices, site viability is a key issue due to additional costs imposed by the government.
Infrastructure output is expected to rise, but at a slower rate than previously predicted.
