UK Construction Enters Golden Age: 8% Growth Forecast for 2025 Amid Robust Economic Recovery

2025-07-13

According to data released by the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) on May 15, the British economy grew by 0.7% quarter-on-quarter in Q1 2025. The services sector – a key growth driver – expanded by 0.7%, while manufacturing output surged 1.1% with construction maintaining steady performance.

Industry forecaster Glenigan projects significant expansion for UK construction:

  • 2025: 8% growth

  • 2026: 10% growth acceleration

Since the Labour government under Sir Keir Starmer assumed office, project launches have stabilized. Private sector activity has demonstrated sustained upward momentum since H2 2024, evidenced by a 7% year-on-year increase in main contract awards.

These indicators collectively signal the dawn of a robust growth phase for Britain’s construction industry.
