Employees: Employees mean wage earners and active owners in the enterprise. A distinction is drawn between employees who are actually employed in the construction process and other employees. Contracted out labour, part-time employees, apprentices, holiday temps and others employed for shorter periods are included. Labour hired from employment agencies and enterprises in the construction industry, employees at subcontractors or employees on holiday, on strike, ill or laid off are not included.
Employees actually employed in the construction process : Covers manual workers and site operatives, including working foremen.
Hours worked : Productive hours worked by employees actually employed in the construction.
Indices are published by three types of construction works:
New building : Construction of buildings including site preparation, installation and completion work.
Renovation of building : Improvement, rebuilding, repair and maintenance. Renovation work, which includes addition or extension of a building, is to be classified as new building, if the addition/extension accounts for more than 50 per cent of the value of the project.
Civil engineering work : Transport infrastructure, pipelines, communication and electricity lines, complex constructions on industrial sites and sport recreation construction.
