NADA National Statistics Office Director, Industry and Trade Statistics Department Administrative Records, Construction Statistics (ad/oth] The collection of approved building permit forms started in 1977 when the National Census and Statistics Office (NCSO) and the Department of Local Government and Community Development entered into an informal agreement in 1976 to implement the provisions of the National Building Code and to monitor building permit forms. On January 6, 1978, a Memorandum of Agreement between NCSO and the former Department of Public Works, Transportation and Communication defined the agencies' responsibilities in the collection of private construction statistics. From then on, the collection, processing, analysis and dissemination of construction statistics became the responsibility of the National Statistics Office. v01_M: edited data Construction Construction statistics from approved building permits aims to provide monthly data on building construction at the municipality level nationwide. Some of the statistics derived from approved building permits are number of units or buildings, floor area, value of construction and type of building. These statistics are the bases of estimates of the level of construction activity useful in the computation of national income accounts and serves as indicators on the level of investment in the country. As such, the data are invaluable in analyzing present economic conditions and past developments, forecasting future trends and making policy decisions. Approved building permit relates to data on new constructions and additions, renovations and repairs of existing structures. The data are taken from the original application forms of approved building permits collected by National Statistics Office (NSO) personnel from the Local Building Officials (LBOs) nationwide. However, statistics from approved building permits are characterized by some limitations namely: constructions refer to those proposed to be constructed during the reference period and not to construction work completed during the reference period; and the completeness of the number of building permits collected relies on the applications filed and approved by the LBOs, hence, building constructions without approved building permits are not included in the statistics. The final data set provides updates to the preliminary data on the 2009 Quarterly Special Releases on construction statistics posted every 100 days after each reference quarter in NSO website. The sources of updates are additional approved building permits collected after cut-off dates because of data collection constraints. These additional documents were not yet available for inclusion in the quarterly tabulation of data on designated target dates. Philippines National coverage Regions Provinces Cities and Municipalities City and/or Municipality Building or building construction is the unit of analysis. Building is defined as any independent free-standing structure comprising of one or more rooms or other spaces, covered by a roof and enclosed with external walls which extend from the foundation to the roof.

National Statistics Office Not applicable. Not applicable. Other [oth] - Self administered administrative form Construction statistics are compiled by the National Statistics Office (NSO) from the copies of original application forms of approved building permits collected every month by authorized NSO field personnel from the Local Building Officials (LBOs) nationwide. A building permit is a written authorization granted by the LBO to an applicant allowing him to proceed with the construction of a specific project after plans, specifications and other pertinent documents have been found to be in conformity with the National Building Code. It consists of ten sections, referred to as boxes, which are accomplished by the applicant, his/her designated architect or civil engineer and the Local Government Units in-charge with the processing of the form. These are the following: Box 1 - describes the name, address, form of ownership, economic activity, location of construction, scope of work, and the use or type of occupancy; Box 2 - checklist of supporting documents to the building permit; Box 3 - contains the LBO's action on the application; Box 3A - gives the breakdown of the cost, number of storey, total floor area, proposed date of construction, expected date of completion and materials of construction; Box 4 - contains the amount of assessed fees for the construction and corresponding receipt number; Box 5 - contains the flow in the processing of the building permit, corresponding dates and name of processor; Box 6 - contains the signature of architect/civil engineer in charge of the design/plan; Box 7 - contains the signature of the architect/civil engineer in charge of the construction; Box 8 - contains the signature of the applicant; and Box 9 - contains the name; address; TCT number; and signature of the lot owner. The number of building permit forms accomplished by the applicant comes in five (5) copies. The “NSO copy” of the approved building permit is made available within the first five (5) working days after each reference month. Collections of these documents from the Local Building Official (LBO) in city/municipality are undertaken by NSO field personnel within this period. The NSO field personnel while still at the office of the LBO verifies the copies of building permits as to its completeness by verifying the beginning and ending numbers indicated in the permit numbers. All the missing permit numbers are indicated, with corresponding reasons, in the transmittal list. In cases where there is no construction in a given month in a municipality, the NSO field personnel secures a certification that there was no construction during the period from the LBO. Central Office Supervision The Industry Statistics Division of the National Statistics Office (NSO) oversees the complete collection of all approved building permits from all cities and municipalities of the country. Field Office Supervision The Provincial Statistics Officers of NSO monitors the collection of approved building permits of their area of jurisdiction and ensures that collected documents are properly edited and coded following the instructions stated in the field operations manual, machine processed and submitted to Central Office according timetable. Not applicable. Processing or editing of building permit documents is done to check for the validity, consistency and reasonableness of data. It involves manual and machine data processing. Manual processing includes editing and coding the entries in the building permit document following the instructions provided in the Processing Instructions Manual. Manual processing of documents is done in two levels namely: editing and coding done by Provincial Office staff; and the review of edited documents by Central Office staff. During machine data processing, items which did not meet the editing specifications are flagged in an error listing. The error listing displays the inconsistencies, errors and omissions found in the building permit as identified by the folio, sheet and permit number. These are verified against the identified building permit and corresponding corrections and/or updates are made in the data files. This process is repeated until there are no more inconsistent or erroneous entries are found in the error listing. The cleaned data files are then submitted to NSO Central Office for further processing and consolidation of data files for the generation of preliminary tables. Detailed instructions on data processing can be found in the "Processing Instructions Manual Section 2" document provided as an external resource. Not applicable. Not applicable.
