Value of performed works by construction enterprises amounted to 315.6 million euros

In 2016, the value of performed works by construction enterprises headquartered in the Autonomous Region of Madeira amounted to 315.6 million euro, a decrease of 3.6% compared to 2015. This drop was mainly caused by the decline of the “civil engineering” works by 22.3%, since that the value of “building” works rose by 38.5%.

The construction companies with 20 or more employees were responsible for 71.6% of the total value of the performed works, generating 225.9 million euro, a 10.7% decrease compared to 2015. In this group of companies (i.e. with 20 or more employees), the “civil engineering” works were the most important (69.8% of the total), representing 157.8 million euros (down by 22.8% from the previous year). This decrease was mainly due to the decline in the works related to "motorways, roads, streets and ways" (-21.8%, corresponding to a 34.0 million euro drop).

In 2016, the purchases made by the construction enterprises stood at 71.7 million euros, down by 11.9% from 2015.
