The demand is judged stable
In August 2024, the balance of opinion regarding the level of building construction managers' order books is stable, below its long term average.
Given their staff size, building contractors have estimated that their order books provide them with 8.0 months of work, a duration that remains also stable.
Tensions on the production apparatus have maintained
In August 2024, 42% of companies have reported being at the limit of their production capacity (production bottlenecks), that is to say that they would not be able to produce more with their current means even if they were to receive more orders. This share remains stable, clearly above its long term average (34%). 18% of business managers considered themselves unable to increase their production in case of additional orders due to a workforce shortage, a proportion that remains also stable and above its long term average.
As many business managers as in the previous month have reported facing obstacles that limit their production: at 60%, this share has maintained below its long term average. 32% of companies have declared that they are facing insufficient demand, a share that is virtually stable, at its long term average level. At 31%, the proportion of business managers who declared facing a workforce shortage has kept on dropping and is now close to its long term average.
The production capacity utilisation rate has slightly dropped: at 90.0%, it remains above its long term average (89.0%).
The balance of opinion on the expected prices is stable
In August 2024, the balance of opinion on the expected prices has maintained above its long term average.
