But three-month on three-month performance records 2.9% growth

Construction output declined by 0.7% between July and August , according to the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics.

This dip in output was driven by falls in both repair and maintenance and all new work which decreased by 0.6% and 0.8% respectively.

But it wasn’t all doom and gloom, with outpit increasing by 2.9% in the three months to August, meaning output increased by £1.2bn between June and August.
