State of the industry - 2001 - Building 266(8203) 28 September 2001, 66-70(5) .
Discusses the DTI's figures for the construction industry for 2Q 2001. These reveal that the industry's output rose 1.3% compared with 1Q 2001. Private commercial work fell 8% over the summer, but there was a steep rise in public sector work. For instance, public non-housing work rose 17% and public housing new work gained 13%. Looks at the picture in the English regions. Also considers the DTI's figures for construction orders in 2Q 2001, which were steeply down. Notes that this drop would have been even more severe had it not been for a sharp rise in the procurement of hospitals and schools. Finally, provides details of, and discusses, the DTLR's planning figures for 1Q 2001. While planning applications have risen, there has been a drop in the number of approvals. Tables and graphs.
