July saw a significant turnaround in architects’ confidence. In April, the Future Trends workload index stood at -82. There has been an 85 point rise in the Index since the lockdown nadir.

This nascent — but still fragile — recovery is driven by residential work. Small scale housing work is on the increase, as clients seek to adapt their homes to new ways of living and working.
