UK construction output nudged back into positive territory in July 2026, offering a modest sign of resilience in the sector. Month-over-month data show output rising by 0.1% in July, reversing the slight 0.1% decline recorded in June 2026.
The figures, updated on 11 September 2026, indicate a marginal improvement rather than a strong rebound, but they suggest that construction activity has stabilised after slipping into contraction the previous month. On a month-over-month basis, the July reading reflects a small but notable shift, with the sector moving from negative to positive growth as compared with June’s performance.
