The latest Experian Business Strategies' "Focus survey of construction activity" reveals that improved weather conditions helped to deliver a strong performance by the construction industry in August. The key index figures were all relatively high, with the overall activity index at 59, the orders index at 73, and the tender enquiries index at 61. Performance was strongest in the residential and non-residential sectors and weakest in civil engineering. Construction activity is forecast to continue to increase over the next quarter with a slight slowdown in September.
