The study begins with a brief introductory chapter in which a questionnaire method of business situation surveying in construction was introduced. Then, a structure of a questionnaire sampling of enterprises drawn by lot from a - 200 thousand population was treated. The sample structure and returnability of questionnaires guarantee a faithful representation of the surveys findings. The main part of the study presents both a current business situation in construction and its changes, observed in the course of studies (since the end of 1993) and even earlier (since 1990). An analysis made, is based on a general business indicator's development and on a detection of causes which differentiated business indicators, according to regions, ownership fonns, size of constructing companies and dates of their establishment, inside sectors and according to branches. Next, construction was characterized against the background of the whole economy. This characteristic contains a description of events, particularly those which have been seen recently, like decline in a generał !evel of employment, better use of existing productive capacities, improvement in the field of investments and improvement in the financial standing of the construction companies. In this part the ranking of barriers for economic activity in construction was presented (economic barriers prevail). According to the surveyed companies, construction is assessed pessimistically, against the background of the whole economy. Likewise the general economic situation is seen. Regardless of the clear sings of improvement in the situation in construction, the pessimistic picture, outlined by the enterprises, is influenced by coming phenomena of słowing-down of growth tendencies in the national economy, which in construction are reflected by not very optimistic prognoses concerning investments, domestic and foreign orders and in the field of use of the existing productive capacities.
