Slightly more business managers than in the previous month have considered the evolution of their company situation to be unpredictable: the corresponding balance of opinion has bounced back.
The demand is considered to be stable
In February 2024, the balance of opinion regarding the level of the order books of building construction managers is stable, slightly above its long term average.
Given their staff size, building contractors have estimated that their order books provide them with 8.3 months of work, a slightly increasing duration that remains well above its long term average.
The production capacity utilisation rate has increased slightly
In February 2024, the production capacity utilisation rate has risen: at 90.9%, it remains above its long term average (89.0%).
42% 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 is stable, 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 and 6% due to supply difficulties.
Less business managers than in the previous month have reported facing obstacles limiting their production. At 61%, this share stands below its long term average. The proportion of business managers who declared facing a workforce shortage has diminished slightly (35%) but remains well above its long term average. The proportion of those reporting supply difficulties has moved back to a very low level (3%).
The balance of opinion on expected prices has diminished sharply
After two consecutive months of a moderate rise, the balance of opinion on expected prices over the next three months has gone back sharply. It stands nonetheless at a really high level, significantly above its long term average.
