The CPA’s Economic and Construction Update provides an insightful summary of the latest economic and construction trends in the UK.

The latest weekly update is enclosed, including:

  • CPA View on Middle East Conflict and Potential Effects (28 May 2026)
  • RIBA Future Trends Survey (April 2026)

    The CPA’s Spring forecasts were published on 5 May and FIS members have exclusive access to this via our membership of CPA.

    The update is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the UK construction industry, and the contents page allows readers to easily navigate to the sections that are most relevant to their interests.

      In addition to this update, the CPA also publishes Construction Forecasts twice a year. Members can download these forecasts from the FIS website here.
