The floor area of planned buildings larger

In September, over 50% more building permits were issued than in August. More than a third more building permits were issued for residential buildings and more than three quarters more for non-residential buildings. The total floor area of buildings was a little over 215,000 m2, which is three quarters more than a month ago. The floor area of residential buildings was larger by more than twice and of non-residential buildings by almost a third.

More than half of all dwellings planned in two- and more dwelling buildings 

By issuing building permits, in September construction of 630 dwellings was planned, which is twice as many as a month ago. 267 dwellings (42% of all) were planned in one-dwelling buildings, and 363 (58%) in two- and more dwelling buildings. The average size of dwellings in one-dwelling buildings will be 176 m2 and in two- and more dwelling buildings 90 m2.
