Brexit Uncertainty Dampens Outlook For Construction

Posted 29.04.19

Whether you are following the Brexit news or living under a rock, one thing you can be sure of is that very little has been decided yet.

The Construction Products Association have given their latest forecasts, and according to Construction News, the "forecast for UK construction has been downgraded due to prolonged Brexit uncertainty." The worst affected sectors are said to include office and retail space.

It's not all doom and gloom though, as Megan Kelly reports, a lot of companies have been stockpiling materials, "positively affecting the industrial warehouse sector".

Building.co.uk also note positively that public housing starts are expected to increase in line with an increase in the affordable housing market.
