Construction forecasts available online

Information on the construction industry is now available to members of Engineers Australia from the website of the Construction Forecasting Council.
The website contains forecasts of the construction and property sectors in:

  • residential building construction activity
  • non-residential building construction activity
  • engineering construction activity
  • construction employment.

It has profiles of national construction activity for major projects across Australia above $50 million for nonresidential construction and above $100 million for engineering construction.
It has analysis of the factors driving supply and demand and the economic scenarios that underpin the forecasts. Leading indicators can be provided to track movements in economic conditions.
All data is readily accessible and downloadable in user-defined charts or as raw data for further manipulation.
