According to reports from the Office for Nations Statistics (ONS), Britain's construction output had increased in April to 2.5% from the month previous, providing the largest increase witnessed since January 2014. The data has delivered renewed confidence within the economy, although sadly the rise didn't offset the decline of 3.6% for March.

According to recent research from the Construction Products Association, construction work is anticipated to rise over the course of 2016 – a significant improvement following on from what has been considered by many to be a low period in construction. Over the course of the year, a rise of 3.6% is expected in construction work – something which crucially needs supporting as the industry gets going again. Important aspects of support include facilities for builders and workers – such as portable accommodation – and it is expected that resources like these will see a surge in interest too.

A recent industry report released by LambertSmith Hampton reveals some important predicted trends for office working for 2016, following on from the records of the past few years. It shows that last year a significant £6.3 billion was invested in UK commercial property, whilst investment is tipped to increase further. The report also emphasizes that office refurbishment and improved resource management are set to be two trending factors in 2016. Therefore a change of office space could be considered a better business move this 2016, and keen to comment on this were a number of professionals with experience in the process, including Insite Portable Accommodation.

The Met Office has recently released figures highlighting that December 2015 was the wettest month in the UK since 1910: the time when such records began. The month was filled with flood warnings and a number of storms, now named as Desmond, Eva and Frank. Strong winds and high levels of rain characterized much of the conditions, leading to widespread flooding. Badly hit areas in particular included West Yorkshire, the city of York and across the Lake District. Now December is over and the New Year begins, attention turns to the clean-up operation, with a number of businesses having to either reconstruct or move premises in order to address flood damage.

Recent reports on the construction industry in UK – largely focused on building and building maintenance – have revealed that the sector makes up approximately 6% of Britain's economy. Despite recent months having seen a slow-down in the construction industry, the percentage still stands; highlighting that construction plays a vital role. There have been increased calls for the services sector (which saw rising growth entering December) to help support construction and therefore allow for positive growth into 2016. This includes ensuring that construction workers have adequate infrastructure in place to take projects forward.
