The Markit/CIPS Construction Purchasing Managers’ Index
moved up 64.6 in January from 623.1 in December, marking well above average
growth in the sector and the highest it has moved since August 2007. The data
was roughly consistent with housebuilding growing by about 4,000 a month, or at
an annualised rate of 48,000. David Noble, CEO at the CIPS, said “The
construction industry has started 2014 in formidable fashion, enjoying its
strongest growth in six-and-a-half years reinforced by a sharp rise in new
business orders”.
