Regional Construction Hotspots in Great Britain 2025
The report is published firstly to identify pockets of growth or contraction – hotspots and coldspots – in regional activity and secondly, to offer a forward-looking indication of growth by region and by sector.
It also showcases the breadth of variation from a single Great Britain-wide figure of construction performance or contract awards activity. Overall in 2024, total GB contract awards rose 13.1%, but with growth rates ranging between +1946% and -95% when analysing at a considerably more granular regional level, stark differences in regional and sector performance become apparent.
