A total of 2.9 million square metres of utility floor space for industrial buildings were started hitherto. This is 4.3 per cent less compared with the same period in 2010.

A total of 19 762 new dwellings were given building starts in January-September; an increase of 4 912 dwellings compared with the same period last year.

Holiday properties (cottages), private garages and other non-industrial activities similarly decreased by 1.1 per cent

In total, building starts of utility floor space for other than dwellings decreased by 3.5 per cent. While total building starts were given for almost 6.8 million square metres of utility floor space; an increase of 8.0 per cent.

Registered building permissions

Figures 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.
