  • To advise on market based policy options and to develop and co-ordinate the construction directorate's Budget representation.
  • To lead the work of expert industry analysts to produce a regularly updated report on the state of the UK construction industry.
  • To ensure the availability of timely, relevant and reliable statistics on the construction industry so as to better inform Government policy and the efficient workings of the construction market.
  • To develop and improve the collection of the national construction statistical data so as to take proper account of the concerns of key stakeholders, such as the compliance cost to the industry, and to make best use of technical developments such as the increasing opportunity for e based solutions.
  • To maintain a close partnership with users of UK construction statistics through the division's website and publications; the Consultative Committee on Construction Industry Statistics; and the service level agreements with other government departments.
  • To take a lead in the successful development and dissemination of industry and directorate performance measures; and in the co-ordination of industry measurement through the national benchmarking forum.
