United Kingdom construction activity showed a notable recovery in September 2026, with output rising 0.8% month-over-month, according to the latest data updated on 12 November 2026. The improvement follows a 0.2% month-over-month decline recorded in August 2026, marking a clear turnaround in short-term momentum for the sector.
On a month-over-month basis, the current figure compares the change in output in September against August, while the previous reading reflected the change in August versus July. The shift from a negative -0.2% in August to a positive 0.8% in September suggests strengthening conditions in the construction industry as the third quarter drew to a close.
