Classification of types of construction (CC Classification)

The classification of types of construction, abbreviated as CC, is a nomenclature for the classification of constructions according to their type. It is based on the provisional Central Product Classification (CPC) published in 1991 by the United Nations, and accordingly subdivides constructions in the main categories of buildings and civil engineering works. CC is designed to serve different purposes such as statistics on construction activities, construction reports, building and housing censuses and price statistics on construction work and national accounts. In addition, CC is to be used for the definition of constructions which will be needed for the provision of information on specific variables (e.g. building permits, production) concerning short-term statistics.
