Helping you make better decisions
In October 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Construction Leadership Forum published the Construction Industry Recovery Plan, which set out a series of short, medium, and long-term actions to aid recovery.
One action was to publish and maintain an industry monitoring data dashboard. The construction industry reaffirmed the need for such a system to support planning and investment within the industry and related sectors.
In response to this recommendation Built Environment – Smarter Transformation, in partnership with industry and public sector partners, have developed the Scottish Construction Industry Data Dashboard.
The dashboard
There are many sources of data that can provide insight into different areas of the Construction Industry. This dashboard seeks to combine various sources and display key information in an accessible format, whilst still allowing the user to interrogate individual datasets.
The dashboard provides insight into the following sections of the industry:
The data used in these sections are pre-defined as “Construction” (or similar) at source, however the Construction Leadership Forum recognises the industry as being further reaching than these standard, pre-defined categories currently account for. As such, we have also included a section on Construction Industry Reach, and where data is available at such a level, we have “re-classified” it to meet the CLF definition of the industry.
For further details on the data, sources and methodologies utilised, please refer to the Data Summary.
Please contact us with any questions or feedback on the data or the dashboard.
