Construction Forecasting Council

The Construction Forecasting Council (CFC) analyses a range of indicators on activity levels within the Australian building and construction industry to create a better compass of the industry's direction for decision makers.

The CFC is an initiative of the Australian Construction Industry Forum (AFIC), of which the Australian Institute of Building (AIB) is a member.

Through the CFC website the organisation provides a tool kit of analysis and information and delivers the following outputs:

1. Credible short and long-term forecasts of the construction and property sectors in terms of residential building construction activity, non-residential building construction activity, engineering construction activity and construction employment.
2. Profiles of national construction activity for major projects across Australia above AUD$50 million for nonresidential construction and above AUD$100 million for engineering construction.
3. Analysis of the factors driving supply and demand, the economic scenarios that underpin the forecasts and sensitivity analysis of the forecasts based on these variables. A set of leading indicators will be provided that will help track movements in economic conditions.

All data is readily accessible and downloadable in user-defined charts or as raw data for further manipulation.  For further information visit www.cfc.acif.com.au
