Workloads in the Scottish construction sector continued to grow solidly in the second quarter, but expectations for the year ahead moderated as issues with skills, costs and credit conditions weigh on firms.
That’s according to the latest Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) Construction & Infrastructure Monitor , which also showed that 19% of survey respondents in Scotland reported a rise in workloads, down slightly from 22% in the first quarter.
Workload growth is widespread, but is particularly strong with regard to infrastructure activity, with 50% more respondents reporting a rise in infrastructure workloads than reporting a fall - up from 34%.
