graphiqueActivity tendency in building construction
- Source: INSEE.
Amongst building contractors who distinguish their expected activity by type of construction, the balance has increased and has moved closer to its long-term average in new dwelling constructions. In the constructions of other new buildings, the balance has resumed its almost uninterrupted downward trend since January, deviating from its long-term average. In the maintenance-improvement sector, it is stable and remains slightly below its own.
The economic uncertainty felt by building managers has weakened, just below its long-term average.

graphiqueExpected activity in the building construction
- Source: INSEE.
The balance of opinion on order books has fallen back slightly
In June 2026, the balance of opinion relating to the level of building construction managers' order books has slightly fallen back and has moved away from its long-term average.
The production capacity utilisation rate has fallen back
In June 2026, after three consecutive months of increase, the production capacity utilisation rate has turned downward anew: at 89.0%, it has returned to its long-term average.
35% of companies report being at the limit of their production capacity (production bottlenecks), meaning that they would not be able to produce more with their current resources even if they received more orders. This share has lost two points since May and has moved back to its long-term average (35%).
As many business managers as in the previous month report facing obstacles limiting their production: at 58%, this proportion remains stable and remains below its long-term average. They are also as numerous as in the previous month to report facing insufficient demand (36%), or being unable to increase their production due to workforce shortages (24%). These proportions stand respectively above and below their long-term average.
The share of companies that report facing supply-side difficulties only is stable (22%), as well as the share that report facing demand-side difficulties only (18%).
