See what SOFIA can do for you
Tasmanian building and construction industry data, analysis, forecasting and planning.
The Tasmanian building and construction industry is one of our state’s most important employers - but how much do we know about the labour market and our capacity to meet demand?
To respond strategically to the challenges and opportunities presented by the strong pipeline of building and construction work, we need a comprehensive analysis of the labour market. We need a shared perspective on the data, and some common understandings of the demand and supply issues across all sectors of the industry.
SOFIA, a new industry labour market analysis tool we’ve developed through Deloitte Access Economics, is here to help.
Bringing together data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Tasmanian government, industry associations and businesses directly, SOFIA provides valuable information about upcoming projects, labour market implications and occupation outlooks.
Using SOFIA we can
- Present a contemporary picture of infrastructure and construction activity, and the projected pipeline in Tasmania;
- Forecast labour market demands in key trades and across each sector and region;
- Add depth to our understanding of likely peaks and troughs in the local labour market.

Trends in major project value
This data is a “weighted” measure, based on the likelihood of each project occurring. Projects underway have a 100% probability of going ahead, but those levels decrease down to projects that are only at the concept stage, which is assigned a default probability of 75%. Major projects refer to projects in the commercial and civil construction sectors that are valued at over $5 million in the public and private sectors.
