3.1. Data description
Index of production in construction (IPC) measures changes in the value of construction and assembly production (without subcontractors) in monthly periods with reference to the base period and with a breakdown into NACE divisions of section F. It is deflated by the price index at the 3-digit level of NACE Rev.2.
3.2. Classification system
The Polish Classification of Activities (PKD 2007) based on the NACE Rev. 2
3.3. Coverage - sector
Section F of NACE Rev. 2. Division 41 Construction of buildings. Division 42 Civil Engineering. Division 43 Specialized construction activities. Data cover the population of economic entities employing 10 or more persons
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions
Index of production in construction is based on the value of the sale of construction and assembly production. The value of the sale of construction and assembly production concerns work realized domestically with the own resources (i.e. without subcontractors) by construction entities i.e. classified according to NACE Rev. 2 in the section ’’Construction” on the basis of contract system (for outside clients). The construction and assembly production includes works consisting in the construction of buildings and structures from site preparation through a wide range of terrestrial work, ground work construction of bearing elements, partitions, the laying and covering of roofs to assembly, installation and completion work. The pertinent work connected with the building, rebuilding, expansion, renovation and conservation of permanent and temporary building structures is included in all of these categories. Definition of production in construction index is compliant with EBS Regulation 2020/1197.
Index for production of building construction are presented for NACE Section F and Divisions F41, F42 and F43.
3.5. Statistical unit
Data on production in construction are reported by legal units classified to construction activity, but the data are compiled for the kind-of-activity unit (i.e. for pure construction activity). The monthly value of construction and assembly production (without subcontractors) is reported, excluding revenues from other, non-construction activities.
3.6. Statistical population
The target population includes kind-of-activity units with 10 or more persons employed, classified to sections F of NACE Rev.2 (15798 KAUs in December 2025):
1227 KAUs with 50 or more persons employed,
14571 KAUs with 10-49 persons employed.
The basis for identifying KAUs is the set of enterprises consisting of one or more legal units. The frame for identifying legal units (and then enterprises and KAUs) is the Statistical Business Register (BJS) supported by the National Official Business Register (REGON).

According to article 3 of Act on Official Statistics - the official statistics shall ensure reliable, objective and systematic information for the society, the state and public administration bodies and economic entities. Documentation on procedures applied for quality management and assessment is available on the website: Quality in statistics.
11.1. Quality assurance
The legal basis of the quality measurement and assessment is the internal Regulation of the President of Statistics Poland No 35 of 28th December 2011 which came into force in the 4th quarter of 2012. The quality assessment of statistical surveys was conducted according to an annual quality program for the official statistics which was in line with the Regulation of the President of Statistics Poland No 35 of 28th December 2011.
Procedures and rules applied in quality assessment and monitoring are based on the ESS Quality Standards, i.e. the ESS Quality Declaration, recommendations of the ESS Leadership Expert Group on Quality (LEG) and the European Statistics Code of Practice (CoP).
11.2. Quality management - assessment
The quality of statistical surveys is evaluated by means of standard quality reports and quality indicators recommended in the ESS Handbook for Quality Reports as well as by self-assessment checklist and quality audits and reviews.
Quality assessment of the monthly survey (DG-1), which is the data source for most STS indicators was conducted in 2022. A quality report was elaborated on the basis of standard quality procedures recommended in the ESS Handbook for Quality Reports. The quality of the monthly survey was described by means of standard quality indicators characterizing the following quality aspects: relevance, accuracy and reliability, timelines and punctuality, comparability and coherence. Relevance is maintained every year while drafting the “Statistical Survey Program of Official Statistics”. In terms of accuracy and reliability there are a negligible non-sampling errors. Concerning timeliness and punctuality all releases are delivered on time immediately after they are prepared. Comparability of series is maintained geographically and over time. Coherence is observable with other cross domain surveys, quarterly and annually.
12.1. Relevance - User Needs
User needs are systematically monitored and taken into consideration while drafting the “Statistical Survey Program of Official Statistics” for the next year. The organs of the state power, government and self-government administration, organizations of employers and other institutions, provide opinions on statistical surveys and recommend implementation of the new ones. Data users, e.g. universities, research institutes, enterprises or individuals may indicate their needs by data inquiries and orders. Classification of national data users with an indication of their importance for official statistics, taking into account the purpose of data usage, is the following:
key users – government and self-government administration, National Central Bank, Polish Financial Supervision Authority;
important users – research institutes, universities, organizations of employers, enterprises, insurance institutions, media;
other users – social organizations, professional self-government, economic self-government, banks, trade unions, students, individuals.
12.2. Relevance - User Satisfaction
User satisfaction survey was conducted at the end of 2013. The survey covered the following data users: government and self-government administration, National Central Bank, Polish Financial Supervision Authority, research institutes, universities, organizations of employers, enterprises, insurance institutions, media, social organizations, professional self-government, economic self-government, trade unions, students, individuals.
User satisfaction survey was carried out via internet. For this purpose, an electronic questionnaire was elaborated and placed on Statistics Poland's server. Questions included in the questionnaire have been adjusted to all data users mentioned above and they comprised, among others, the following issues:
general information on using statistical data (which data were used, how often and for what purpose),
assessment of data availability, transparency, timelines, comparability and level of details,
evaluation of services provided by Statistics Poland and assessment of the internet website,
assessment of statistical metadata (methodology, glossaries, classification applied, etc.),
users' needs and expectations concerning disseminated statistics and offered services,
general assessment of statistics (according to the European Statistics Code of Practice).
Data on production in construction, production of building construction and civil engineering are consistent with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2019/2152, Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/1197 and short-term methodological manual.
13.1. Accuracy - overall
There were negligible non-sampling errors concerning coverage, measurement and non-response. Improvement actions taken include increasing registry updates, careful logical and accounting controls and constant contact with the reporting units.
Data on production in construction are treated as ‘final’ one month after first released data, i.e. two months after reference period. Index of production in construction is revised only when the producer price index changes.
13.2. Sampling error
There is an exhaustive survey for economic entities employing 50 or more persons. Purposive sample is used for entities employing 10-49 persons.
Economic entities employing (in December 2025):
50 or more persons – included in an exhaustive strata (1292 entities)
10-49 persons observed by a minimum 10% sample survey (1737 out of 14654 entities in target population).
13.3. Non-sampling error
There are negligible non-sampling errors concerning coverage, measurement and non-response. Improvement actions taken include increasing registry updates, careful logical and accounting controls and constant contact with the reporting units.
In September 2025 the response rate for economic entities employing 50 or more persons was 84.3%, for entities employing 10-49 persons (a minimum 10% sample survey) – 1021 entities submitted report (out of 14654 entities in target population).
14.1. Timeliness
The index of production in construction is available on the 13th working day after the end of the reference month.
Timeliness is the same for all available aggregation levels of production in construction.
On the 17th working day after the end of the reference quarter the preliminary data on the structure of the value of sales of construction and assembly production according to the types of constructions are published (“Statistical Bulletin” and "Socio-economic situation of the country").
14.2. Punctuality
100% of releases delivered on time according to the scheduled release dates.
15.1. Comparability - geographical
The same statistical concepts and classifications are applied in the entire national territory.
15.2. Comparability - over time
Data on production in construction are comparable over time. When significant changes are introduced (e.g. change of classification, base year or methodology), historical time series are recalculated as far back as it is reasonably possible.
Time series for section F according to NACE Rev. 2 are available from 2000, however from 2015 data are available for divisions of Section F - 41, 42, 43.
15.3. Coherence - cross domain
Results of the monthly construction and assembly production are compared with the results of the quarterly survey for types of constructions (annex to the monthly report), as well as with quarterly financial results and with annual data for construction.
The survey of production in construction is consistent with the survey of producer prices in construction, i.e. the same entities are covered with these two surveys. The value of construction and assembly production of a current period is used as weight for compilation of producer price index in construction which is used as deflator for compilation of production in construction.
15.4. Coherence - internal
The higher aggregates for production in construction are consistent with their main sub-aggregates due to the data compilation on the basis of the value of construction and assembly production and the higher aggregation levels are obtained by summing up absolute values from lower aggregation levels.
Cost of the NSI:
128,800 hours – total annual cost of data collection on the DG-1 form (all variables collected via DG-1 are included). The costs cover also national needs (it was not possible to separate the costs of data collection only for EBS purposes)
251 hours – annual cost for production in construction, related to data processing (imputation, grossing up, validations, seasonal and calendar adjustment) as well as preparation of data for dissemination.
Burden of respondents:
18 hours – average annual respondent burden (it covers data preparation and filling-in the DG-1 form), also national needs are included as it was not possible to separate the response burden only for EBS purposes.
17.1. Data revision - policy
Data revision policy is consistent with Eurostat recommendations (ESS guidelines on revision policy for PEEIs). According to these recommendations, notice about major changes, e.g. in classification, methodology or base year, is provided in advance of the change. Notice about minor changes is given at the time the change is introduced. The same revision policy is applied to data released nationally and transmitted to Eurostat.
17.2. Data revision - practice
The index of production in construction is revised in the following month if the deflator (i.e. producer price index in construction) changes. Usually the magnitude of change is very slight – 0.1-0.5 percentage point. First released data are treated as preliminary (i.e. data disseminated on 13th working day after reference month) and they become final in the following month, i.e. two months after the reference month.
IPC is also regularly revised every 5 years when the base year changes as well as once a year due to calendar and seasonal adjustment.
In 2024 time series were recalculated for the base year 2021=100 (for section F - time series from 2000, for divisions F41, F42, F43 - time series from 2015)
Revision indicators for calendar adjusted y-o-y growth rates (for section F - time series for the years 2023-2025 with the base year 2021=100):
Mean Revision (MR): -0.022
Mean Absolute Revision (MAR): 0.067
18.1. Source data
The source of data is statistical sample survey covering economic entities with 10 or more persons employed, stratified as follows (in December 2025):
entities with 50 or more persons employed – exhaustive strata (1292 entities classified to sections F of NACE Rev.2);
entities with 10-49 persons employed – minimum 10% sample of entities selected at the NUTS 2 level and for Sections and Divisions of NACE Rev.2 (1737 entities out of 14654 entities in target population classified to sections F).
The sample is established once a year and is regularly updated during the year. The frame on which the source is based is the Statistical Business Register (BJS) supported by the National Official Business Register (REGON).
18.2. Frequency of data collection
Monthly Collected data refer to the full reference period.
18.3. Data collection
A monthly questionnaire (DG-1) is used for all respondents covered by the survey. The monthly report concerning economic activity of construction entities covers, among others, the following information:
revenues from sale of own products (goods, services);
of which the value of sale of construction and assembly production realized domestically by construction entities on the basis of contract system (for outside clients) and own resources (i.e. excluding subcontractors);
of which the value of sale of investment works;
value of manufactured products not categorized as sale, but included in sales;
persons employed;
average paid employment;
gross wages and salaries;
retail sale and wholesale;
excise tax;
product subsidies received.
Data on production in construction are collected both for reporting month as well as for accrued period (cumulative data from January to the end of the reporting month). In accrued data, reporting units include possible revisions for the previous periods, which does not have an impact on the real level of the production value in reporting month. All data collection is done by electronic questionnaire. Non-response is monitored by means of the completeness reports.
Dissemination of electronic questionnaire in the Reporting Portal for reporting units – until the 5th working day after the end of the reference month; reminding the reporting units over the phone or e-mail that they have not completed the questionnaire – on the 6th working day after the end of the reference month.
18.4. Data validation
Appropriate validation procedures are applied during the whole production process of statistics, and they are in line with rules provided by Eurostat, i.e. starting from selection of respondents to compiling indices and transmission to Eurostat. Data validation system incorporates many tools for data control, estimation and imputation, e.g. program procedures applied for error checking and detailed reports on data completeness helpful in analysis of non-response. Validation procedures are applied on the level of individual respondents and on aggregated level as well as before data transmission to Eurostat. Data validation on the level of individual respondents is based on:
special program procedures used for errors checking when data are inserted to the system (logical -computing control) – these procedures help to avoid errors at the stage of data collection what is essential for final data results.
information given by an entity on the reasons of substantial difference in the level of data reported in the current period as compared to the equivalent data for the previous period (e.g. cancellation of all previously-issued invoices, correction of invoices, reducing/increasing the number of orders, employee dismissals).
In the case of any doubts about data correctness there is a direct contact with a unit in order to explain outliers.
Data validation on aggregated level is conducted by the Regional Statistical Office responsible for the survey implementation The quality of aggregated data is monitored at least at the three-digit level of NACE Rev.2 and NUTS2 level. Both the values and dynamics are compared with previous month and corresponding month of the previous year. Any discrepancies are scrutinized before dissemination of national indices. Validation procedures are also performed before data transmission to Eurostat. The structured data files in SDMX are created and data assigned to the codes are checked in detail. In case of significant data revisions, for example when the base year changes or seasonal adjusted data are revised, the whole time series are submitted to validation procedure.
The most of STS indicators are surveyed on the same monthly questionnaire (DG-1) what means that validation procedures are quite consistent.
18.5. Data compilation
After validation of data reported by construction economic entities, the data for non-respondents are estimated on the basis of their responses from previous periods.
In order to obtain data for the whole population of construction economic entities employing 10 or more persons, grossing-up is made on the basis of reporting data collected from all entities employing 50 or more persons and from the sample of entities employing 10-49 persons.
Grossing-up is done on the basis of employment and labour productivity at the Group level of NACE Rev.2. Grossed up results are used to compile indices.
Data on construction and assembly production are collected at current prices and, after grossing-up from the sample to the population level, data are deflated by the relevant producer price index in construction at the group level of NACE Rev.2. After elimination of an influence of the price change the value of construction and assembly production in constant prices is obtain. The higher aggregation levels are calculated by summing up values at constant prices.
On the basis of the value of construction and assembly production in constant prices, the index of production in construction (IPC) is compiled – Laspeyres index. Index for production in construction is presented for Divisions of Section F - 41, 42, 43.
18.6. Adjustment
Level of detail: total, buildings, civil engineering
regARIMA, 1 or 6 regressors connected with the changing number of working days in a week resulting from country specific national holidays (the number of regressors depends on statistical testing and quality of model verification),
all moving holidays present in the national calendar are included,
leap year effect (if relevant – depends on statistical significance and compliance with economic theory of the estimated value),
Easter effect (if relevant – depends on statistical significance and compliance with economic theory of the estimated value),
outliers (AO, LS, TC) with automatic detection supported by additional analysis and a priori knowledge,
default critical value for automatic outlier detection (3.5).
Seasonal adjustment:
automatic model selection with additional non-automatic verification of problematic cases,
additive or multiplicative decomposition (depends on the series and results of statistical testing, sometimes manually revised considering SA series behaviour – ex. annual totals coherence),
filter length not applicable (TRAMO/SEATS method),
no a priori identified breaks in the series,
direct adjustment of all series,
the consistency of separately adjusted components and aggregates (a direct approach) is assured by manual checking/controlling of models used and SA series behaviour for series related by important dependencies
Revisions:
model updated once a year including revision of historical data,
monthly observations presented with revision 1 month backwards.
Not applicable.
Index of production in construction (IPC) measures changes in the value of construction and assembly production (without subcontractors) in monthly periods with reference to the base period and with a breakdown into NACE divisions of section F. It is deflated by the price index at the 3-digit level of NACE Rev.2.
11 June 2026
Index of production in construction is based on the value of the sale of construction and assembly production. The value of the sale of construction and assembly production concerns work realized domestically with the own resources (i.e. without subcontractors) by construction entities i.e. classified according to NACE Rev. 2 in the section ’’Construction” on the basis of contract system (for outside clients). The construction and assembly production includes works consisting in the construction of buildings and structures from site preparation through a wide range of terrestrial work, ground work construction of bearing elements, partitions, the laying and covering of roofs to assembly, installation and completion work. The pertinent work connected with the building, rebuilding, expansion, renovation and conservation of permanent and temporary building structures is included in all of these categories. Definition of production in construction index is compliant with EBS Regulation 2020/1197.
