  • REFERENCE PERIOD:  Period to which the information refers and which may be a specific day or a time interval (month, fiscal year, calendar year, among others).
  • ENTERPRISE:  Legal entity (natural or legal person) that is an organisational unit producing goods or services, which benefits from a certain degree of autonomy in decision-making, especially for the allocation of its current resources. An enterprise carries out one or more activities at one or more locations.
  • TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK:  The denomination of works carried out in buildings or plots of land (new construction, enlargements, conversions, refurbishment, demolition, transformation and urbanisation).
  • PRODUCTION INDEX:  Relative number that aims to measure changes in production volume at short and regular intervals, relatively to a period of time taken as reference. Under the assumption of stability of technical coefficients, this index also measures the trend of value added in volume.
