In the first quarter of 2013 surveyors across the UK reported increased workloads that bring the building industry to a level not seen since the end of 2007. The rise in the private housing construction suggested that some of the government initiatives were beginning to work and revitalise the construction sector. With the rise in workloads many chartered surveyors anticipate a rise in employment levels over the coming year. However despite of noticeable rise in London, the South East and the Midlands , Northern Ireland and Scotland still continue to see falling workloads.
