JLL and Glenigan’s latest UK Commercial Construction Activity Index shows a strong start to 2015 according to Jon Neale, Head of UK Research, JLL.
A strong start to the year
There has been a strong start to the year for non-residential construction,
with volumes rising by 7.9% over the first three months. Total starts for
the year to the end of March totalled £25.6bn, compared to £23.8bn for
the twelve months to the end of December. This was driven by a large
increase in new build starts, which rose 16.7% to £14.9bn. Refurbishment
and extension projects declined slightly, to £10.7bn.
