According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) between October and December 2022, construction work increased by 0.3%. This was mainly due to growth in both new work (0.4%) and repair and maintenance (0.1%). Overall, the construction industry saw an output increase of 5.6% in 2022 compared to 2021. This follows a record increase in 2021 of 12.8%. In terms of costs, new orders rose by 30.5% in 2021 to £72,578 million. The highest level in over 45 years, driven by private housing, private industrial, and commercial buildings.
Construction workers who operate in high-growth areas such as housebuilding and infrastructure are closely guarded by regulations. For instance, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations (COSHH) 2002, and Health and Safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations 1996. Therefore, high-quality construction trucks are required to be awarded contracts and maintain efficiencies. When it comes to construction, the right tools and trucks are often the key to a successful project.
