Explanatory Notes on Main Statistical Indicators
Statistical Unit in the Construction Industry
refers to a corporate enterprise engaged in the construction of buildings
and structures and in the installation of equipment. A corporate construction
enterprise should have qualification certificates with independent accounting
system, and should meet the following 3 requirements: a) being set up in line
with relevant legal basis, having its full name, organization and location, and
capable of taking civil liabilities; b) independently possessing and using its
assets and assuming its liabilities, and entitled to sign contracts with other
institutions; and c) making independent accounts of its profits and losses, and
capable of compiling its own balance sheet.
Gross Output Value of Construction refers to total of construction products and services, expressed in
money terms, produced or rendered by construction and installation enterprises during a given period of time. It includes:
(1) Output value of
construction projects: the value of projects covered by the project budgets;
(2) Output value of
installation projects: the value of the installation of equipment, (excluding
the value of the equipment to be installed);
(3) Other output values: the output value of
construction industry apart from that of construction projects and installation
projects. It includes: output value of repair of buildings and structures;
output value of non-standard equipment manufactureing;
overhead expenses received by contracted enterprises from the sub-contracted
enterprises and the completed output value of construction activities for which
there is no clear definition.
a. Output value of
repair of buildings and structures: the value created through the repairs of
buildings or structures. It does not include the value of buildings or
structures being repaired and the value of the repair of production equipment;
b. Output value of
manufactured non-standard equipment: the value of non-standard production
equipment, including raw materials and manufacturing cost, made for the
construction project (i.e., chemical plant; kettles or tanks used by refineries;
various fillers, triangle tanks, valves used by mines). It also includes the
output value of equipment manufactured by subsidiary workshops.
Value-added of Construction refers to the final result of the activities of production and
operation of enterprises of the construction industry in monetary terms during
the reference period.
Starting from the 2004
economic census, value-added of construction is calculated by both production
approach and income approach, with the figures from the income approach as the
final figures., Under the income approach,,
calculation starts from the perspective of income and is based on the share of
income derived from the production process by the relevant factors of
production.. Specifically, value-added of construction for the Census years is
calculated in accordance with the Programme of
Compilation of GDP and National Accounts for the Year of Economic Census, and
value-added of construction for other years is calculated in accordance with
the Programme of Compilation of GDP and National
Accounts for the Non Economic Census Years.
Floor
Space of Buildings
refers to floor space of buildings under construction in the reference
period, including the space of buildings for which construction has newly
started; buildings for which construction has started earlier and is continuing
during the reference period; and buildings for which construction has been
suspended earlier but has restarted during the reference period; buildings
completed during the reference period; and buildings under construction but
construction has subsequently been
during the reference period.
Floor Space of Buildings Completed refers to the total floor space of each building that has been
completed in the reference period in accordance with the requirements of the
design, up to the standard for being resided in and put into use, or has been
checked and accepted by departments concerned as qualified ones or up to the
standard of buildings completed and can be handed over for putting into use.
Total Number
of Machinery and Equipment Owned by the End of Year refers to the number
of machines and equipment owned by the enterprises, and listed as the fixed
assets of the enterprises by the end of the year, including machinery and
equipment for construction, production and transportation.
Total Power of Machinery and Equipment
Owned by the End of Year refers to the
total power of machinery and equipment owned by the enterprises,and
listed as the fixed assets of the enterprises by the end of the year, including
machinery and equipment for construction,production
and transportation.The power of the machinery is
calculated on basis of the designed or verified capacity,covering
the power of the machinery/equipment and the separate power equipment serving
the machinery/equipment (such as electric motors), but excluding welders,
transformers and boilers.The unit used for the calculation of power is kilowatt, with
horsepower converted to kilowatt by 1 horsepower=0.735
kilowatt.
Income from
Settlement of Projects refers to the income
received by the construction enterprise from the contracted project through
settlement procedures, and other charges to the contractoree
as operational costs in addition to the value of the project, such as temporary
facility fee,labour insurance premium, moving cost of
construction equipment,as well as various types of
claims to the contractee.
Total Revenue
of Enterprises refers to the sum of
income from production and operation of enterprises, including income from settlement
of projects and other operational income, namely:
Total Revenue of Enterprises=Income from Settlement of Projects+Other Operational Incom
