Statistics at enterprise level

The structural business statistics for construction are compiled both at local KAU level and enterprise level. The figures at enterprise level may differ from figures at local KAU level. This is due to some enterprises being registered in one industry group according to main activity, while at the same time consisting of local KAUs in other groups.

At enterprise level, the turnover increased by 7.1 per cent to NOK 351.9 billion.

Revision of industries

Since January 2009, a new Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2007) has been in use. The structural business statistics 2008 are published in line with both the new and the old classification. In addition, the figures for 2007 are also published according to the new standard. Building project developments (housing cooperatives and the development and sale of property) have been included in the building and construction activity. Industries were also broken down in order to make a clearer distinction between the building activity and construction activity.
