The UK construction industry grew 2.3% in Q2 2011 compared with the previous three months, figures from the Office for National Statistics show.
This is much faster than the 0.5% figure previously predicted and used to calculate GDP in Q2.
The ONS says the GDP figure may now be revised upwards.
It says: “Given today’s figures for construction output in Q2, GDP growth in Q2 would be revised up by 0.1 percentage points.”
Its original estimate for UK growth in Q2 was 0.2%.
