Economic uncertainty felt by construction managers has rebounded.
The opinion on demand is virtually stable
In May 2024, the balance of opinion regarding the level of building construction managers’ order books is virtually stable, right below its long term average.
Given their staff size, building contractors have estimated that their order books provide them with 8.1 months of work, an almost stable duration.
The tensions on the production apparatus remain strong
In May 2024, 41% of companies have reported to be at the limit of their production capacity (production bottlenecks), that is to say that they could not produce more with their current means if they were to receive more orders. This share, although decreasing, remains clearly above its long term average (34%). 20% of business managers considered themselves unable to increase their production in case of additional orders due to workforce shortage, a stable proportion standing above its long term average.
Almost as many business managers than in the previous month have reported facing obstacles limiting their production. At 62%, this share stands slightly below its long term average. 33% of companies have declared to be facing an insufficient demand, this share is stable and stands right at its average. The proportion of business managers who declared facing a workforce shortage has dropped back slightly. At 35%, it has remained nonetheless above its long term average.
The production capacity utilisation rate has slightly decreased: at 90.7%, it stands above its long term average (89.0%).
The balance of opinion on expected prices has kept on decreasing
The balance of opinion on expected prices has dropped again slightly but remains nonetheless above its long term average.
