A Message from the Director, U.S. Census Bureau:
We request your parcipaon with the Construcon Progress Reporng Survey. The U.S. Census Bureau
produces monthly stascs on the value of construcon put in place using data obtained from owners or
builders of sampled projects. These statistics provide the only comprehensive measure of construction
activity at the national level and are used in the computation of the Gross Domestic Product.
The enclosed form idenfies and describes your project that was sampled from published sources for
inclusion in our survey. To limit cost and respondent burden, we survey only a small sample of
projects. Therefore, your cooperation in this survey is especially important.
Your inial report will ask for the start date, projected completion date, total cost estimates, and monthly
figures on the value of work done from the start of construction through the previous month. It is
particularly important that you give us your best estimate for item 5c. Thereafter, we will ask you to
report only a single figure each month for the construction value of work done, unl the project is
completed.
Please use the enclosed form as a reference prior to reporting online. Website and login informaon can be
found on the front page of the form. Online reporting is easy, reduces costs, and decreases processing times.
Going forward, you will receive either an email, a letter, or a phone call from the U.S. Census Bureau.
YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE KEPT STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL. Information about the authority, confidentiality,
and burden of this data collection can be found on the back of this letter.
For assistance with completing this survey, please call our customer help line at 1-800-845-8246, Monday
through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Thank you in advance for your time and participation, and for helping the U.S. Census Bureau measure
America’s people and economy.
