But a comparison of the three months from November 2011 to January 2012 with the same period a year earlier shows the volume of construction output growing by 0.6% in constant prices, not seasonally adjusted. Of the two main components, new work grew by 0.7% and repair and maintenance rose by 0.4%. The largest increase (11.1%) was new infrastructure work and new public non-housing showed the largest percentage fall of 15.4% per cent.
The Q4 2011/Q3 2011 change in the constant price, seasonally adjusted series has been revised to a slight fall of 0.2%, up from the original estimate of a 0.5% fall.
