It aims to measure the periodical change in purchaser's price of the construction materials and existing wage rate of labours working in construction sector. These indices were compiled on point to point basis (the current quarter's index is compiled taking the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal year as base). Instead of composite IPICS, it is being compiled separately for construction materials and labours' wages in time series separately since 2009\/10.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2010-07-08","end":"2010-07-15","cycle":"Quarter 1"},{"start":"2010-10-08","end":"2010-10-15","cycle":"Quarter 2"},{"start":"2011-01-08","end":"2011-01-15","cycle":"Quarter 3"},{"start":"2011-04-08","end":"2011-04-15","cycle":"Quarter 4"}],"nation":[{"name":"Nepal","abbreviation":"NPL"}],"geog_coverage":"National","analysis_unit":"Construction material retail shop, Expert\/Builder in construction labour","universe":"All retail shops for constrution materials where the BSOs are located\nAll experts & builders for Construction Labours in the country","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The scope of the survey includes description and prices of construction materials.","study_scope":"The scope of the survey includes description and prices of construction materials."},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Branch Statistics Offices","abbreviation":"BSO","affiliation":"Central Bureau of Statistics"},{"name":"Central Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"CBS","affiliation":"National Planning Commission"}],"sampling_procedure":"The necessary data for these indices have been collected from the 3 locations based on Judgment Sampling of district head quarter of the 33 districts where Branch Statistics are located.
