Building activity increases
So far in 2010, 21 204 dwellings have been started. This is 8.8 per cent more than in the lowest year 2009.
Building statistics show an increasing trend within both the residential and industrial sectors. Registered utility floor space for industrial and public sector purposes increased by 17 per cent compared with the year 2009.
Building was started on a total of 7.8 million square metres of utility floor space in 2010. This is an increase of 14 per cent compared with the previous year.
Registered building permissionsFigures for buildings in the building statistics rely on dates for when permits are registered by the municipality in the data register (Matrikkelen). A building permit does not always mean that construction will be started at once. Especially in low conjunctures it might be that construction projects are not realised, or may be postponed after a building permit has been granted. When the building activity trend turns from a low to a high level, and vice versa, this could affect the interpretation of the statistics. More about comparability, quality and other information in "About the statistics" . |
Lack in registration
Buildings registered without the need for application, after the introduction of the data register Matrikkelen, have to varying degrees been registered with all necessary information. This in turn has led to an underestimation of buildings in the agricultural sector in particular. A total of 8 500 buildings have been registered as notifiable matters without information on utility floor space.
