Floor area of non-residential buildings smaller by over a half

In August, 5% fewer building permits were issued than in the previous month. For residential buildings 7% more building permits were issued and for non-residential buildings 17% fewer. The total floor area of all planned buildings was almost 157,000 m2, which is about a quarter (26%) less than in July. The total floor area of planned residential buildings increased by 29%, while the total floor area of planned non-residential buildings decreased by more than a half (52%). It is smaller because in July larger industrial buildings, warehouses and buildings for public entertainment, education or hospital and institutional care were planned.
