CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY SLOWS - RICS CONSTRUCTION MARKET SURVEY, Q4 2010
Construction workloads fell during the last quarter of 2010, as government spending cuts and a lack of commercial finance took their toll on the industry, says the latest RICS Construction Market Survey. Five per cent more surveyors reported total construction workloads fell rather than rose in Q4 2010. Although this is a slight improvement from Q3 (-10 per cent), work levels varied strongly across the UK. As a result of government spending cuts, public housing and public non-housing sectors were the hardest hit - both recording net balances of -20. Surveyors report that the spare capacity created by falling public sector workloads is yet to be replaced by the private sector.  More.  Website.
