Our competencies

The set of statistics on the construction industry we provide is a complex array of data, which is not easy to translate into market reality. When analysing the data without the requisite experience in the field, you run the risk of making some of the following mistakes:

Inappropriate choice of indicators
Failure to factor in the seasonality effect
Failure to take account of time delay of data
Relying on preliminary data rather than final statistics
Measuring market share based on partial market value
Treating data characterising large construction companies as applicable to the market as a whole
Projecting the value of the entire market while neglecting the industry or regional structure
Using econometric models without taking into account vital immeasurable factors
Taking for granted the value and schedule of investment projects stipulated in the government’s long-term plans

Such mistakes result in a faulty interpretation of the data and distort the actual market reality. Unfortunately, you can encounter them in trade publications on a regular basis. When you have access to our studies, you get the actual picture of the market supported by commentaries from experts.
