Value of Construction Put in Place: December 2001. Current Construction Reports

摘要

The purpose of this document is to provide a monthly estimate of the total dollar value of construction work done in the U.S. The United States Code, Title 13, authorizes this program and provides for voluntary responses. The coverage includes all construction work done each month on new private residential and non-residential construction, public construction, and improvements to exiting buildings and structures. Data estimates include the cost of labor and materials; cost of architectural and engineering work, overhead costs; interest and taxes paid during construction; and contractor's profits. Data collection and estimation activities begin on the first day after the reference month and continue for about 3 weeks. Reported data and estimates are for activity taking place during the previous calendar month. The survey has been conducted monthly since 1960.
