Construction Market & Sales Forecasting
How to approach construction market and sales forecasting
Developing a robust forecast for your market and sales gives you a more solid foundation for your planning than “gut feel”. The forecast will help in the budgeting process and in the allocation of sales and marketing resources.
Our approach is to use one of the following types of forecast models:
- Causal forecasting models – based on the relationship between the variable to be forecast (eg sales or market size) and an independent variable (eg new orders, rate of interest or construction output)
- Time series forecasting models – uses historical data as a means of forecasting future outcomes
- Qualitative forecasting – based on the educated opinions of selected persons with a knowledge of the market or company.
