FMB state of trade survey thirdquarter of 2005 - FMB 2005 - FMB State of Trade Survey ThirdQuarter 2005 .

Key findings include evidence that the upwards trend in the workload of small and medium-sized builders has come to an end. There are indications of a downturn in the underlying trend in workload, together with a slackening in employment. There are expectations of a slight increase in workload and employment in the fourth quarter, although these are anticipated to be only in the residential sector. Third quarter findings are in fact the weakest for any quarter since 1999.
