industry performance > construction industry indicators

The cidb's Construction Industry Indicators (CIIs) are measures of progress in reaching the specific objectives of industry development in South Africa. They are based on a review of international benchmarking and performance indicators for the construction industry.

These indicators have been measured since 2001, when the project-based pilot measurement was based on 250 returns from a mix of clients and contractors. Since 2002 the measurement has included the consulting professions, with approximately 1 000 returns received each year. As the Registers Service of the cidb becomes established several measurements will be taken from registers data. For example the measurement of black ownership and control of contractors can now be undertaken by using data from the Register of Contractors. In addition to the surveyed indicators, certain key economic indicators have been included to give an indication of the performance of the construction industry in the economic context of South Africa.
