yardstick for measuring construction activity
Weathervane for yardstick would work as well.

: Not "for measuring" - that's a tautology. But "yardstick of construction activity" would work well.

I like it with or without measuring. I wouldn't call that a tautology. Just stating the obvious. For good measure :)

: "Celebrates" doesn't convey the German idea, and I don't understand "blueprints". But "takes THE measure of" is good.

Blueprint, as a verb. Somewhat obscure, I admit.

: That takes care of Gradmesser (not part of the question) and Bausaison. What about Konjunktur, though? // The state of the market could be up, down or static. You need something neutral here. Perhaps Phil can advise.

As I read it, there is no 'boom,' but it could be added to the 'celebrates, which I believes grasps the (between the lines) meaning quite well.//Yes and as marketing text, 'economy' is not very attractive
