State of the industry

Article Abstract:

The UK construction industry is currently showing very variable performance, both between sectors and between different regions of the country. The construction industry continues to reflect the overall state of the economy, and will not flourish if the economy weakens. It is not anticipated that a full-scale recession will emerge, but prospects for the construction industry are generally not very favourable. Similarly, architectural firms are seeing mixed performance.
