Efficiency Comparison in the Development of Building Projects Sector

This article focuses on the estimation of technical efficiency of the selected companies within the development of buildings projects sector in the Czech Republic. Data envelopment analysis method was selected to calculate the efficiency. We use annual accounting data of the companies that are available in the Amadeus database of Bureau van Dijk. Material costs, costs of employees, capital and assets are selected as input variables. Operating revenue (turnover) and added value represents output variables. The dataset contains financial data of 46 companies in three periods. Efficiency rating models are compiled for constant returns to scale as well as for variable returns to scale. This makes it possible to evaluate the area of the scale efficiency. All models are radial input oriented and constructed separately for each of the three monitored periods. Recommendations are given to selected companies to remedy their situation.
