LONDON--Business activity in the U.K.'s construction sector dropped in March following five months of marginal growth, a survey showed Wednesday.
Financial-information company IHS Markit said its purchasing managers' index for the construction industry fell to 47.0 in March, down from 51.4 a month earlier.
The 50-point mark separates expansion from contraction.
"Total construction output fell at the fastest pace since July 2016, driven by the sharpest reduction in civil-engineering activity for five years and a renewed fall in commercial work," Tim Moore, associate director at IHS Markit, said.
