They all anticipate public house building will rise, with the CPA predicting construction increasing by 9% in 2001 compared to only 3% for the RICS.

All systems glow
Article Abstract:
The construction industry in the United Kingdom is anticipating an increase of work to the value of 51.16 billion pounds sterling, a rise of 2.7%, during 1997. Construction projects for the leisure industry had increased by 50% to 1.4 billion pounds sterling during 1996, and growth in this sector is expected to continue until the end of the 1990s. Other sectors which are predicted to improve during 1997 include new house building and the construction and renovation of retail outlets. Restrictions on public expenditure will result in a reduction in public housing construction.
