The referendum and resulting uncertainty will have implications for construction. In our January forecast, increased growth was expected across England and Wales, with only Scotland showing a fall in construction output. The interim forecast for 2017-2021 now shows that, with the exception of the South East, construction output growth is now expected to be slower across the country despite commitments in infrastructure.
In early 2017, CITB will publish a full Construction Skills Network report on the detailed construction forecasts for 2017-2021.
