Abstract

The Survey of Construction Industry was conducted in 1993 for the first time in Sri Lanka mainly to furnish data regarding input, output and their trends to the Institute for Construction Training and Development (ICTAD). The Department of Census and Statistics continues to conduct the survey annually to cater to the requirements of the data users along with the rapid development of the construction industry in Sri Lanka. However, due to the unsettled conditions, the survey of construction industries could not be fully conducted in Northern and Eastern Provinces. Therefore the data confines to the Provinces where the survey has been conducted.

In this survey, all construction activities undertaken by the private contractors who are registered with ICTAD, government and semi-government agencies are covered. Therefore, construction activities undertaken by the international contractors and the informal construction activities are not presented in this survey. Information is collected relating to the following sectors of the construction industry.

i. Building construction ii. Highway construction iii. Bridge construction iv. Water supply & drainage v. Irrigation & land drainage vi. Dredging & Reclamation vii. Other constructions

All construction activities, except building construction, mentioned above are categorized under Civil Engineering activities. The survey was aimed to cover 901 sample units in all provinces except some districts in northern and eastern provinces during the reference year 2005. The Department introduced a very simple questionnaire for the survey from the year 2000 considering the difficulties to obtain the information of construction activities.

The questionnaire was posted to selected contractors and followed up by sending reminding letters in order to collect information such as, value of contract, value of work done, value of raw materials used, salaries and other services. Further employment statistics and value of subcontracts given by the main contractors are also collected. The list of contractors registered with the ICTAD and among those who were engaged in construction activities in the year 2004 have been used as the frame for this survey.

Abstract

The liberalized economic system in Armenia has led to a sharp growth in individual housing construction by individuals for their own use. High rates of individual housing construction may be observed in some geographic (regional) locations. However a lack of accurate administrative registers of licences for construction, the prevalence of some constructions (built without any license), create particular difficulties in producing reliable and comprehensive statistical data collection on individual housing construction.

In general, problems faced in collecting information about house construction may be separated in the following main groups: • incompleteness of indicators on volumes of individual housing construction by marz (region) breakdown, • introduction of the instruments being used in the international practice, taking into consideration peculiarities of the sphere, • lack of precise mechanisms for monitoring the process of individual housing construction, • expanding and improvement of the existing indicators set, • necessity of forming and updating of the individual housing construction register.

In this context, in order to improve the statistical accounting of house construction, it is important to conduct periodical surveys and by so doing to improve the instruments available, through the development and use of state statistical reporting forms, and to obtain some broad indicators of levels of activity in at least some regions of the Country.

Taking into account the above-mentioned, the main purpose of this survey was to improve statistics on individual housing construction. In particular, • ensuring the comparability of the statistical data on house construction with the methodologies and standards used in the international practice, • ensuring the comprehensiveness of the indicators by regional breakdown, • use of the sampling methods and improvements of their methodology in construction.

The survey results provide: - complete and reliable information on individual housing construction in some key regions, particularly studying structure and volumes of the buildings, - and increase in the quality of information, - to complement the database on house construction within the official statistics with new indicators, - a model for a register for newly built houses which can be used to monitor periodically the level housing construction activity.

The derived results enable NSSRA to improve and update its database, to expand its list of published indicators, to improve methodology, and to support more informed policy making by providing state and local selfgovernment bodies with key information.

Sampling procedure

There were two main approaches - entire and sampling - used for the conduct of the survey.

Lists of the licenses for individual housing construction, which had been given since 2005 by the state government body in the urban development, served as the main information source for the survey.

However there were, in some regions, serious inaccuracies and lack of availability of lists of licensed permits for individual house construction. These weaknesses, together with restrictions of available financial and human resources and the objective of receiving representative data, led to a concentration of survey resources in those regions where the individual housing construction is more prevalent and where reasonably up-to-date lists of licences are available. Yerevan and the following 4 marzes - Aragatsotn, Ararat, Armavir and Kotayk- were selected. The results of the survey therefore only apply to Yerevan and to these 4 marzes.

The licenses given for individual housing construction in Yerevan city were surveyed in their entirety, but in the other marzes - by the random sampling, considering the differences between the numbers of the mentioned licenses (from 100 to 640, meanwhile 100 - in Armavir, 136 - in Aragatsotn, 304 - in Ararat, 640 -in Kotayk), based on which the sample "steps" had been determined.

Overall there were 1330 licences granted, permitting individuals to construct a house for their own use. These were predominantly in Yerevan.

Although the survey was aimed at 1330 houses, it was foreseen to survey also those buildings under construction in the neighbourhood of the surveyed buildings, which were out of the list of the buildings to be surveyed.

The global architectural survey market is experiencing robust growth, driven by the increasing demand for construction projects across diverse sectors, including commercial, residential, and infrastructure development. The market's expansion is fueled by several key factors. Firstly, stringent building codes and regulations necessitate comprehensive surveys before any construction commences, ensuring structural integrity and compliance. Secondly, the burgeoning adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and other digital technologies enhances the accuracy and efficiency of architectural surveys, leading to faster project timelines and cost savings. Thirdly, the rising complexity of modern building designs necessitates detailed and precise surveys to avoid costly errors during construction. Finally, the growth of sustainable building practices is further driving demand, as surveys play a critical role in assessing site conditions and optimizing energy efficiency. We estimate the current market size to be approximately $15 billion USD (a reasonable estimate given the scale of the construction industry and associated surveying needs). Assuming a CAGR of 5% (a conservative estimate reflecting potential economic fluctuations), the market is projected to reach approximately $22 billion USD by 2033. Market segmentation reveals that house surveys currently hold the largest market share, reflecting the high volume of residential construction globally. However, the engineering survey segment is poised for significant growth, driven by large-scale infrastructure projects and the increasing demand for complex engineering designs. Geographic analysis indicates that North America and Europe currently dominate the market, attributed to mature construction sectors and robust regulatory frameworks. However, developing economies in Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India, are exhibiting strong growth potential, fueled by rapid urbanization and infrastructure development. Key players in the market, including Gensler, AECOM, and others, are actively investing in technological advancements and strategic acquisitions to consolidate their market position and cater to the growing demand for advanced survey services. Restraints on market growth include economic downturns, fluctuations in construction activity, and potential labor shortages in the surveying profession.

As part of a cooperative study by the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) and the U.S. Geological Survey, topographic surveys of stream channel cross-sections, upstream and downstream of selected new culvert installations in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Alabama, were conducted both before and after culvert construction. This dataset contains raw topographic data used to determine channel measurements for statistical analysis in the associated Scientific Investigations Report, Effects of culvert construction on streams in the East Gulf Coastal Plain of Alabama, 2010-19 (Pugh and Gill, 2021). To measure the effects that culvert construction may have on stream channel beds, banks, and slopes, topographic surveys of 22 stream channel cross-sections, 11 upstream and 11 downstream, of the proposed culvert, were conducted at each study site before culvert construction. The cross-sections were evenly distributed along a stream reach length of approximately 20 times the channel width. These same cross-sections were resurveyed approximately 2 years after culvert construction was completed. Pre- and post-construction channel geometry data are presented in separate Comma-Separated Values (CSV) files. In addition, a plan view of before and after construction data points is included in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file.
