Construction output fell in 2005; the first fall in the industry since 1994, bringing to an end the longest continuous period of growth since the 1960s. However, at just 0.8%, the decline was marginal and total output remained relatively high at £79.6bn (2000 prices). Total output in the fourth quarter of 2005 (4Q05) was roughly on a par with that in 4Q04 and 3Q05, up by a marginal 0.4% in both instances.
