Sector Snapshot

Consolidated view of regions reveals wide diversity across sectors

Our Sector Snapshot consolidates the views of work sectors from around the UK. The stacked chart depicts in percentage terms the total number of activity arrows shown regionally within each of the six levels of activity, as reported by our on-the-ground experts.

In overview, given the spread of circumstances across the country, it is perhaps not surprising that a given sector might be experiencing very different conditions in different locations, but that does demonstrate how diverse the market is, and how local workload proportions will affect all aspects of pricing and procuring of construction works.
