Providing the most comprehensive and up-to-date information and analysis of the UK Civil Engineering market, including the behaviours, preferences and habits of the consumer.
The UK Civil Engineering sector saw major disruption across 2020, with the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns shutting down projects across the market. There was a 6% decline in construction output, with the majority of building sites closing in the March 2020 lockdown and with heavy restrictions throughout the next year. While most contractors were able to operate normally in the second and third national lockdowns, disruptions to supply chains still caused issues.
With continued government commitment towards Net Zero Carbon by 2050, the Civil Engineering sector should see sustained growth in the next few years. However, the setbacks of 2020 may see the revising and deferral of many upcoming construction projects. Network Rail has already reported financial underperformance throughout 2020, which could curtail their spending going forwards.
This report covers the current state of the UK Civil Engineering sector, as the predictions coming out of the pandemic. While disruptions have occurred throughout the country, major projects going ahead in the next five years will help to boost recovery.

Infrastructure investment will have a key role to play in the economic recovery from COVID-19, both by maintaining jobs in the short term, and creating the conditions for long-term sustainable growth. The government has recently brought forward capital investment in infrastructure, decarbonisation and maintenance projects and committed £27 billion to economic infrastructure investment in 2021/22 to support the recovery. The recently published national infrastructure strategy also provides the civil engineering sector with much needed clarity on the direction of investment and the long-term visibility it needs to properly deliver a recovery from COVID-19.the government’s commitment to infrastructure spending as part of the economic recovery, the “levelling-up” agenda and the need to progress towards net zero carbon by 2050 should ensure sustained growth in the civil engineering sector over the coming years.
