Following last week鈥檚 ONS output tonic, more good news as amount of awards up 拢2bn last month
Last week鈥檚 news that construction output had bounced back in January has been underlined by the latest data from information specialist Glenigan which said clients handed over 拢2bn more work in February.
On Friday, Office for National Statistics figures said output in the sector was up 0.9% compared to a 2.9% drop in December.
And Glenigan said the momentum has rolled over into February with nearly 拢6.4bn worth of work awarded last month, an increase of almost 拢2.2bn from January.
The figures (see below) reveal the most work was awarded in the private housing sector, with firms here inking deals worth just over 拢1.22bn 鈥� or around 19% of all work handed out in the month.
After private housing the next most prolific sector was social housing, with clients here awarding firms 拢1.17bn of business.
This was followed by those in the industrial sector, at 拢718m and commercial clients awarding 拢670m worth of work.
Among the deals signed in the month were a brace for Multiplex 鈥� a 拢400尘 scheme by Chipperfield Architects to turn the former US embassy in London鈥檚 Grosvenor Square into an upmarket hotel for Qatari Diar and a job to build Make鈥檚 35-storey at 1 Leadenhall for Brookfield. The CM deal for its developer parent is believed to be around 拢250m.
And ISG inked a 拢50尘-plus job to fit out the new King鈥檚 Cross headquarters of US tech giant Facebook.
Meanwhile, the data has also revealed that 拢10.6bn worth of projects were approved in February.
The private housing sector was the market with the highest value of projects approved, securing permission for 365 schemes worth almost 拢3.2bn.
After private residential, commercial achieved the second-highest value of approvals at 拢2.6bn 鈥� though 拢1bn of this was for a 10-storey building in King鈥檚 Cross that will be the home of pharma company Merck and where CPC is project manager.
