520 _aOptimism in the booming UK construction sector dipped to the lowest level in three years last month as activity levels showed signs of cooling. Despite the moderation in growth, the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply said its monthly measure of expansion in the sector remained well above the no-change mark of 50, recording 55 in October 2004. That compared to 56.8 in September 2004. Higher workloads were recorded in the three areas of construction activity - housing, commercial and civil engineering. http://www.cips.org/
