Outputs - North West
Between 2010 and 2014, total construction output in the North West is expected to increase at a negligible annual average rate of just 0.1%, significantly below the UK’s average of 1.7%. A stronger performance from the new work sector will be the main factor behind this weak growth, with repair and maintenance output forecast to decline each year, on average. Employment in the region is expected to increase to around 217,600 in 2014, 1.5% higher than 2010’s level.
