The value of construction works done excludes value added tax, purchase costs of the land, project costs, surveying of land and supervising of services.

The value of new orders is the total value of the contracts made in a reference month with ordering parties. An order is considered to be made on the day when a contract is signed between the ordering party and the contractor.
