The Federal Statistical Office (StBA) continuously collects and analyzes data on the German economy and other areas of society. The StBA prepares the data and makes it available. These statistics serve as a basis for policy-making, among other things.

For this reason, companies are obliged to provide information. Not all companies are surveyed. Depending on the sector, a different number of companies are selected at random. If your company receives a corresponding request from the StBA, you must provide the requested data.

This applies to

• Construction companies in the main construction industry and construction companies in other industries - in each case excluding construction companies and property developers
• Companies in the construction industry

Different information is required depending on the type of business or company. In addition, the StBA requests certain data at different intervals, for example monthly, annually or at intervals of several years. Among other things, you may have to provide the following data on your business or company:

• the persons working
• the hours worked
• the wage and salary totals
• turnover
• investments
• the receipt of materials and goods
