Outlook for construction sector improves, RICS report finds

摘要

Activity levels in the construction sector edged upwards in the first three months of the year, according to the latest Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Construction Market Survey released in May. This result contrasts with the sharp fall in output suggested by the official data.8% more chartered surveyors across the UK reported increases rather than decreases in workloads. This is a notable improvement of the negative reading seen towards the end of 2011, and reflects a marked contrast in performance between the private and public sectors.
