Uneven decrease in industrial sector

In the fourth quarter of 2011, building was started on 1 124 000 square metres of utility floor space within the industrial sector. This is a decrease of 5.5 per cent. New buildings for education, culture and health have particularly seen a reduction, with a decrease of 140 000 square metres.

Revised figures

Figures in the period 1st quarter 2011 to 3rd quarter 2011 have been revised due to updated information about dwellings in the data register (Matrikkelen). The revised figures show higher levels for building permits and building starts.

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.
