Introduction

About the CPA



London is the UK’s largest regional economy and construction gross

value added (GVA) in 2017 (the latest available

from the ONS) was £19.3 billion, accounting

for 17.3% of the UK construction total

(see fig. 1.1). With a construction

GVA of £17.9 billion, the South East

accounts for a similar proportion of UK

construction (16%), which can lead to

bias in perceptions of growth and activity

in other regions of the country. Indeed,

when thinking about regional construction

activity, the relative size of the London and

South East economies, populations and

concentration of the services-based industry,

it is easy to think that the majority of construction

work is taking place in these regions.

By using ONS regional economic data, it becomes clear

that despite its overall dominance, there were only three

London sub-regions in the top ten largest local authority

areas for construction activity in 2017: Westminster,

Camden and City of London, and Harrow and

Hillingdon. Similarly, three sub-regions in the South

East feature in this ranking. However, it is Hertfordshire,

in the East of England, which was recorded as the

sub-region with the largest value of construction

activity in 2017. Cities in the West Midlands and Yorkshire and the

Humber, and a county in the South West complete the top ten list,

underscoring the fact that there are large areas of activity beyond

the traditional engines of growth (see fig. 1.2).

This piece of work seeks to analyse construction contract

awards at a high level of regional granularity, firstly to

identify pockets of growth or contraction – hotspots and

coldspots – in regional activity and secondly, to offer a

forward-looking indication of growth by region and by sector.

One of the challenges in using such granular

data is the large lags in reporting of official

output data, as evidenced by the most

recent macroeconomic data published

by the ONS being for 2017. By

using data on contract awards

over 2018, this will highlight

construction work ahead,

rather than reporting on

activity is past periods that may

not be relevant.

About the CPA



What is a hotspot or a coldspot?Hotspots and coldspots seek to identify regions where contract awards

in 2018 were significantly above or below previous years, highlighting

pockets of activity of contraction in construction activity over the near-

term horizon.

As discussed, some regions of the country host more construction

activity than others. Birmingham, for example, was the eighth largest in

terms of construction GVA in 2017. In 2018, it was also in the top 10 largest

regions in terms of the value of contracts awarded (see fig. 1.3). However,

this was 76% below the value of contracts awarded in the previous year

and slightly below the long-term average, so whilst it is a large source of

construction work, it is not a hotspot region experiencing growth.

There may also be regions that have recorded strong growth in the value

of contracts awarded, but account for a small proportion of overall

activity. For example, Peterborough is in the bottom 20 in terms of

construction activity (£231 million in 2017), but was the fastest-growing

region in terms of contract awards in 2018, pushed up by three industrial

warehouses contract awards worth a combined £132 million, in a region

with total contract awards of £234 million (see fig. 1.4 & 1.5). Large growth

rates or contractions themselves do not necessarily signify a hotspot or

coldspot, which is a key consideration for regions hosting small volumes of

construction work, where growth rates on an annual basis can be volatile.

The analysis in this publication compares the value of construction

contracts awarded in 2018 with the average value of contract awards

over the last four years across the residential, commercial and

infrastructure sectors. If 2018 contract values are significantly above

the long-term average, then this is considered a hotspot. Conversely, a

region is considered a coldspot if 2018 contract values are signifi cantly

below the long-term average.

There are clear hotspots for upcoming construction activity over the next

6-12 months in Great Britain. Similar to last year’s results, there were no

broad hotspots in 2018 – where contract awards in each of the three main

construction sectors of residential, commercial and infrastructure are

signifi cantly above the long-term average. There were only two regions

with hotspots in two sectors: Coventry and North Lanarkshire. Where

hotspots were restricted to a single construction sector, they were spread

across the regions of Great Britain.

Construction hotspots may also show due to a single large project in one

sector (see fi g. 1.6). Although these may be viewed as skewing results,

they still represent a signifi cant driver of regional growth and activity

and were a key driver of hotspots throughout the country. These tend to

be high-value transport or utilities projects in the infrastructure sector

where contracts are awarded, but take time to build out. In smaller

sub-regions, single, large off ices, retail and residential projects can also

generate hotspots.

Construction coldspots also feature across Great Britain and across the

three main construction sectors. In the residential sector, coldspots

outnumber hotspots on a national level, although there were no

residential coldspots in London or Wales. North Hampshire is the only

sub-region that has coldspots in two sectors.

Hotspots can be driven by a large number of

projects awarded contracts in a region, or by

a single large project. The City of Bristol is a

residential hotspot, for example, driven by the

award of contracts for developments across the

city, and five contracts above £20 million ranging

across local authority, private sector, Build to

Rent and student accommodation providers for

developments in Hengrove Park, Wapping Wharf,

Wilder Street, Greenbank Road and Castle Park. The

status of North and North East Lincolnshire as an

infrastructure hotspot, on the other hand, is driven

by the award of two of Great Britain’s top ten largest

infrastructure contracts for the year: the £350 million

Keadby 2 840MW combined cycle power plant and

the £165 million main quay works at Able’s marine

park at the Port of Humber.

Following the EU referendum in June 2016, contract

awards and project starts for large projects in the

commercial sector were affected by Brexit-related

uncertainty throughout the second half of 2016,

2017 and 2018. However, there were 32 commercial

hotspots in 2018 and the top three projects, valued

at £250 million or above, awarded contracts in the

second half of 2018. The majority of hotspots in

the North East, North West, East Midlands, East of

England, London and the South East were in the

commercial sector.

There were fewer coldspots than hotspots across

Great Britain in 2018 and there was only one sub-

region with two coldspots – North Hampshire

– where contract awards in the commercial and

infrastructure sectors were below the long-term

average. Most other coldspots were limited to a

single construction sector, most notably residential,

which had more coldspots than hotspots across

the country. There were no residential coldspots in

London in 2018, but half of the coldspots in the North

East, Yorkshire and the Humber and the South East

were in the residential sector.

East of EnglandThe East of England region accounts for 8.5% of total UK GVA

and key sectors of regional economic activity are industrial

production and manufacturing, distribution and transport, public

administration and business services. Construction grew 5.0%

in 2017 and accounted for 8.2% of total East of England GVA in

that year. The value of contracts awarded in the region totalled

£5.1 billion in 2018, a decrease of just 0.8% from the previous year.

There were three hotspots in terms of overall contract awards:

Central Bedfordshire, Luton and Suffolk. Heart of Essex, West

Essex and North and West Norfolk were coldspots based on

overall contract awards.

Peterborough dominated the region, with the largest growth in contracts awarded in 2018,

Contract awards for infrastructure

projects in the North East totalled

£157 million in 2018, a decrease of

70.6% from 2017. There were

no hotspots or coldspots,

however, with values

largely in line with long-

term averages. The largest

infrastructure contract

awards in the region were for

the £20 million NSL Interconnector

to Norway in Blyth, Northumberland

and the £15 million link road for the

Integra 61 business park in County

Durham.

Commercial contract awards

totalled £255 million in 2018,

almost three times higher than the

2017 value and the highest in

over seven years. Durham

and South Teesside were

hotspots in 2018, reflecting

the award of contracts for the

£30 million Durham County

Council HQ, the £15 million

Durham North Gate site and the

Central Square East redevelopment.

The value of commercial contract

awards in the other sub-regions of the North

East was marginally above long-term averages,

but Darlington was a coldspot in 2018.

£923 million worth of residential

contracts was awarded in the North

East in 2018, a decrease of 12.7% from

2017. In most sub-regions,

contract values were in line

with the long-term average

and there were no hotspots

in 2018. However, South

Teesside was a coldspot.

The largest contracts were

for phases 1 and 2 of Upper

Warren in Hartlepool (£100 million)

and the Mount Oswald student

accommodation project for the

Contract awards for

infrastructure projects

in the Yorkshire

two-thirds lower than the

2017 value, this brings

the region’s contract awards

back towards the long-term

average, aft er the largest contract

of 2017 (£2.25 billion) was registered in Leeds. In 2018,

Calderdale and Kirklees, and North and North East

Lincolnshire were hotspots, both due to large utilities

projects. There were no coldspots in the region in 2018.

Commercial contract awards

totalled £269 million

in 2018, two-thirds

lower than in

2017. There were

no hotspots, but

Sheff ield, and North and

North East Lincolnshire

were coldspots. Aside

from the £70 million second

phase of the Barnsley Markets

redevelopment, commercial

contracts in the region were limited to lower-value city

off ices projects, with two retail projects valued at a

combined £19 million.

£1.7 billion worth of

residential contracts

were awarded in

the Yorkshire

2018, a decrease

of 4.0% compared to

the value awarded in

The Northern Powerhouse is a regional grouping, first coined

by the coalition government of 2010-2015 to drive investment

in skills, innovation, transport and culture in northern regions

of Great Britain. For this analysis, the Northern Powerhouse

comprises the regions of the North East, the North West,

Yorkshire and the Humber and North Wales. Its creation is part

of government’s long-term aim of rebalancing economic growth

across the regions and reducing the traditional North/South

divide. Jake Berry has been the Parliamentary Under-Secretary

of State for the Northern Powerhouse and Local Growth since

2017 and in June, the remit was extended to joint minister,

working across the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local

Government (MHCLG) and the Department for Business, Energy

and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).

The Northern Powerhouse accounts for 19.6% of UK GVA,

with the main sectors of activity being industrial production

and manufacturing, distribution and transport, and public

administration. The value of contracts awarded totalled

£13.2 billion in 2018, a decrease of 24.0% from the previous year.

In terms of overall contract awards, Durham, North and North

East Lincolnshire, and Conwy and Denbighshire were hotspots,

whilst Sheffield, Blackburn with Darwen, East Lancashire, and

Chorley and West Lancashire were coldspots.

Only North Wales recorded growth in contracts awarded in 2018, rising by 43.2%

About the CPA



The ONS releases construction output data for Great Britain on a

monthly and quarterly basis, and a regional breakdown of construction

activity is reported three months following the end of the reference

quarter. This regional data is only available on a non-seasonally adjusted

basis and in current prices, making analysis more difficult than for

national output data, which is available in constant price terms to

indicate volumes of work.

Given the lags in reporting actual volumes of construction work

completed, and the difficulties in measuring activity on a regional basis,

this research seeks to identify regional ‘hotspots’ – where the value of

construction contracts awarded in 2018 is above its historical average.

This forward-looking approach aims to signpost areas of strength for

construction over the next 12 months.

MethodologyThe hotspots are calculated using Barbour ABI data on contract awards,

based on actual contract values, which have not been adjusted for

inflation or deflation. The measure of heat indicates how the value of

contracts awarded in 2018 compares with the long-term annual average,

on a scale of –5 to +5: – 5 being ‘very cold’, or significantly below the long-

term average; +5 being ‘very hot’, or significantly above the long-term

average.

Regional breakdownRegions in Great Britain have been broken down based on the

Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) level 3 groupings.

This is one level above local authority-level data and is the EU and

Eurostat standard for the subdivision of countries for statistical purposes.

There are 174 NUTS3 regions in the UK, although the regions in this report

cover the 168 regions in Great Britain only, to match the geographical

coverage of construction output data from the ONS.

Sector breakdownThe analysis is broken down to show contract awards in the three largest

construction sectors: residential, commercial and infrastructure.

Residential: housing (private developments), student accommodation,

new build, conversions and change of use

Commercial: offices, retail, supermarkets

Infrastructure: railways and stations, roads, bridges, ports, harbours

and waterways, energy and utilities
