    Accuracy and reliability

    The producer price index for renovations and maintenance measures the development in the prices of renovations and maintenance works, incl. producer profits. The statistics is based on 3,000 prices from six activity groups. For each trade the largest businesses, according to turnover, are selected for reporting using a top-down approach to achieve the highest possible coverage. For each trade there is a coverage of at least 30 pct. Price developments from the larger businesses weigh more than price developments from smaller businesses. Each of the businesses are requested to select their most representative activities, i.e. the services sold most often within a given trade. As there are large differences between the trades, they are treated separately with separate samples.

    As the samples are not randomly selected the sampling error cannot be measured, however, overall, the index is assessed to be of high quality.
