With statistics form the Office of National Statistics the recession has accounted for one in seven redundancies in the first six months to the end of March, August has seen a fluctuation of trends within the construction industry.
A main highlight for the construction industry in August was a pledge from central government to bring forward £3bn of public spending from 2010-11 to the current year to mitigate the impact of the downturn in private construction spending which nevertheless seems to be failing to find its way to the building site.
According to the FMB (Federation of Master Builders), recovery of the construction industry's continues to be stalled due to a lack of available mortgage lending. In essence this means that fewer new housing projects are being started as well as the additional costs that house builders are up against at the moment. The CPA (Construction Plant hire Association) sympathizes with this trend, agreeing that part of the problem stems from large amounts of government money being spent on buying unsold housing stock for conversion into social and affordable housing.
On the other hand however it’s not all doom and gloom. New figures from the government showed a stark 63% increase in the number of building projects starting up during the second quarter of 2009. August has also seen a sharp boost in construction jobs in many parts of the UK. In particular the north-west of England shows promising signs of recovery as Bootle-based CC Geotechnical invests £70,000 on a new geothermic drilling rig. With growing emphasis placed on renewable technology, this will ultimately boost the amount of construction jobs in the area.
Further encouraging news to the construction industry come with the news of about the creation of 430 jobs in construction with sale of Haymills group building company based in East Anglia. The sale of Haymills to the multinational construction firm Vinci will also see a number of construction jobs being created in Cheshire, with the launch of a new major bio-energy plant.
Even through the tough time brought about due to the recession, the construction industry continues to show promising signs of creating new jobs in construction.
