ONS: Construction Output Increased Slightly In June

The Office for National Statistics has published estimates of Construction Output in Great Britain in June 2025.

The data covers short-term measures of output by the construction industry in June 2025, contracts awarded for new construction work in Great Britain, and a summary of the Construction Output Price Indices (OPIs) in the UK for Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2025.

Key points:

• Total construction output is estimated to have grown by 1.2% in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2025 compared with Quarter 1 (Jan to Mar) 2025; new work increased by 1.1%, and repair and maintenance grew by 1.4%. 

• Monthly construction output is estimated to have grown by 0.3% in June 2025; this follows a fall of 0.5% in May 2025 and an increase of 0.9% in April 2025. 

• The increase in monthly output in June 2025 came solely from an increase in repair and maintenance (1.2%), as new work decreased by 0.4%. 

• At the sector level, five out of the nine sectors grew in June 2025; the main contributors to the monthly increase were private housing repair and maintenance and non-housing repair and maintenance, which grew by 3.7% and 0.8%, respectively.

• Total construction new orders fell by 8.3% (£976 million) in Quarter 2 2025 compared with Quarter 1 2025; this quarterly decrease came mainly from infrastructure new work and private commercial new work.
