2020- n° 76Monthly survey in the building construction industry – March 2020 Monthly survey of building - March 2020
According to the business managers in the building construction industry surveyed in March 2020, the business climate remains stable. However, given the context of the collect (cf. Warning), this essentially reflects the opinion of business managers in early March. The composite indicator stands at 112, very largely above its long-term average (100). Otherwise, the climate in February 2020 is revised upwards by one point because of late responses from businesses that have been taken into account.

Order books are slightly less well filled
In March 2020, fewer business managers than in the previous month consider that their order books are well filled. The corresponding balance of opinion has fallen back slightly but remains far above its long-term average. Given their present staff size, business managers consider that their order books provide 7.9 months of work, barely less than last month, but significantly more than the long-term average (5.7 months).

The pressures on productive capacity are a little less strong
In March 2020, the production capacity utilisation rate has fallen slightly. At 91.6%, the corresponding balance has slightly fallen back but remains above its long-term average (88.6%). At the same time, 45% of business managers have reported production bottlenecks, as last month and far more than the long-term average. In particular, a little less than a quarter of business managers have declared production bottlenecks due to workforce shortage.
