Construction Output measures the month-over-month change in the inflation-adjusted value of work performed by the UK construction industry. This indicator provides a timely snapshot of the health of the building sector, which is a significant component of the UK's industrial production. Growth in construction output is often linked to increased business investment and consumer confidence in the housing market. It is a key input for the preliminary estimate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The data is collected by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) through the Monthly Business Survey for Construction and Allied Trades. It covers approximately 8,000 businesses and is seasonally adjusted.
