Decrease in industrial buildings
Preliminary figures show a 6.7 per cent decrease in new industrial buildings in January-August 2011 compared with the same period last year. However, the total utility floor space increased by 6.7 per cent.
A total of 17 676 new dwellings were given building starts in January-August; an increase of 4 753 dwellings compared with the same period last year. In all, building starts were given for almost 6 million square metres of utility floor space; an increase of 6.7 per cent.
A total of 2.5 million square metres of utility floor space for industrial buildings were started hitherto. This is 6.7 per cent less compared with the same period in 2010.
Holiday properties (cottages), private garages and other non-industrial activities similarly increased by 3.4 per cent.
In all, building starts of utility floor space for other than dwellings decreased by 5.8 per cent.

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.
