The internal consistency of the data is ensured by the use of a common methodology for data collection and data aggregation. The sub-indices are coherent with the total index. |
The data revision policy and notification of corrections are described in the section Principles of dissemination of official statistics on the website of Statistics Estonia. | |
The published data may be revised if the methodology is modified, errors are discovered, new or better data become available. |

The sample includes 95 construction companies and 70 wholesale companies of wood, construction materials and sanitary equipment as well as road construction companies. An expert choice of construction companies is made. Wholesale companies of wood, construction materials and sanitary equipment and road construction companies are sampled by sales volume of construction materials. ADMINISTRATIVE DATA Not used DATA FROM OTHER STATISTICAL ACTIVITIES Data from statistical activities 20007 “Financial statistics of enterprises (quarterly)”, 20300 “Financial statistics of enterprises (annual)”, 20407 “Consumer Price Index” and 20408 “Producer Price Index of Industrial Output” are used. | |
Monthly | |
Data are collected and the submission of questionnaires is monitored through eSTAT (the web channel for electronic data submission). The questionnaires have been designed for independent completion in eSTAT and include instructions and controls. The questionnaires and information about data submission are available on the website of Statistics Estonia in the section Questionnaires. Data are collected with the monthly official statistics questionnaires “Construction price” and “Price of construction materials”. Price information is collected by sample survey, which includes Estonian construction and wholesale enterprises and retail trade enterprises of nine cities. | |
The input data is checked and, if necessary, corrected according to specified rules. The compliance of estimated statistics with the quality requirements is checked as well: comparisons are made with previous periods, internal coherence, the coverage of the total population and the response rate are checked. | |
On the bases of collected data Laspeyres-type price indices are calculated. Microdata are aggregated on the required level. The calculation of the construction price index covers four groups of buildings – detached houses, apartment buildings, industrial buildings and office buildings. Basic inputs are divided into three main groups: labour force, building materials and building machines. In repair and reconstruction work price index basic inputs are divided into three main groups: labour force, building materials and building machines. The annual index has been calculated as the average of twelve months. | |
