UK construction will grow by only 0.6% next year - down from original estimates of a 2.3% rebound - according to the Construction Products Association's Autumn Forecast, citing Brexit uncertainty and delays to existing major infrastructure projects. This growth will depend on the government extending its help to buy scheme beyond 2021, otherwise housing starts are expected to decline from 2019.
