Construction growth has faltered after a post-pandemic boost at the start of last year but there will be a return to stronger growth in the short-term according to the latest industry construction forecast from Glenigan.

Economic shocks from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s Zero Covid strategy also had an impact and Glenigan expects the underlying value of construction starts (projects with a construction value of less than £100 million) to be around £67.8 billion.
