Tender price forecasts remain unchanged for both London and at a national level, Mace said

It added: 鈥淭he pace of any growth though will be determined by policy support to encourage investment and the industry working collectively to foster a healthier balance of risk and reward.鈥�

Mace Consult鈥檚 director of cost and commercial management for the UK and Europe, Oliver North, said: 鈥淭he government has a number of levers at its disposal that it can use to expedite improving market conditions. Creating the right environment to attract investment and helping to solve labour shortages for example, will have the potential to have a significant impact on output.

鈥淲hile economic conditions are heading in the right direction and new orders are increasing, contractors and their supply chain are still working through legacy issues and current risks which, as we鈥檝e seen with the news of ISG entering administration, can carry significant human and financial cost.鈥�
