The indices of production in construction provide a short-term indication of changes in activity in the construction sector.

The construction output index is now calculated using data on hourly volume from nominative social declarations (DSN) – a monthly reporting/administrative requirement in which employers report, for each of their employees, the time worked and the wages paid – instead of the monthly production surveys in the building and public works sector (EMBTP). An experiment was conducted over several years to validate the switch to this new source. The series have been backcast to January 1990, with the use of the DSN source since 2019 (not available or not robust enough for this purpose before this date).
