Constructionline sees signs of recovery

The number of construction clients putting together lists of suppliers for forthcoming tenders has risen 15% in the three months to September, according to Constructionline.

The pre-qualification regisrer said that the figures signalled a possible uplift in demand.

Overall client use of Constructionline was also up 10% in the same period.

Philip Prince, sales and marketing director from Constructionline, said: “While conditions in the industry remain challenging, the public housing, infrastructure and maintenance sectors have continued to grow and this has been mirrored in the growth in our client activity on the Constructionline database.”
