Revised quarterly figures for 2005

The quarterly figures that previously were published during 2005 have been too low, and have therefore been revised. This is mainly due to that data from the GAB-register, which is the basis for the building statistics, has been imperfect. In addition there may be corrections in the GAB-register.
