Key Performance Indicators

What are the UK Construction Industry Key Performance Indicators?

The UK Construction Industry Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are national data sets against which a project or a company can benchmark its performance. The data is collected each year from national surveys covering the construction industry and its clients.

The KPIs are published by Constructing Excellence on the KPIzone website (www.kpizone.com) which is updated each June with data collected from the previous year.

KPIzone provides access on a subscription basis to:

  • KPI graphs covering:

    • Economic (eg client satisfaction, predictability, profit)
    • Environment (eg energy use, waste)
    • Respect for People (eg employee satisfaction, sickness absence)
    • Housing (economic)
    • Non-housing (economic)
    • Infrastructure (economic)
    • M&E Contractors (eg client satisfaction, training)
    • Construction Consultants (eg client satisfaction, training)
