Only 18% of FMB firms expect their workloads to increase The final quarter of 2009 also revealed a major decline in workloads and employment for FMB firms and, based on this outlook, 2010 looks sets to begin with a ninth consecutive quarter of deterioration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"style53\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) is the largest trade association in the UK building industry, representing around 12,000 building companies. Established in 1941 to protect the interests of small and medium-sized building firms, the FMB is independent and non-profit-making, lobbying continuously for members\u2019 interests at both national and local levels <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"style53\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" align=\"left\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">Richard Diment, Director-General of the FMB said:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">\u201cThe employment figures from our members\u2019 survey are particularly alarming as, even after seven consecutive quarters of lay-offs, 38% of FMB firms reported that they had cut staffing levels. Even more alarming is the fact that 33% of FMB firms expect to have to make staff cuts in the first three months of this year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">Diment warned:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;\">\u201cDespite the urgent need to cut the public expenditure deficit, investment in the construction sector offers the best hope of propelling this country back into recovery because every \u00a31 spent on construction output generates a total of \u00a32.84 in total economic activity. Any cuts in construction would merely cripple an already badly damaged skills base and supply chain and seriously inhibit the building industry\u2019s recovery.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px;\" align=\"left\">\n<span style=\"font-family: times new roman;
