Decreased building for industrial purposes

Preliminary monthly figures shows that a total of 219 400 square metres of utility floor space was started for industrial and public sector buildings in July. The strong growth in the first months of 2008 however contributes to an increase in building-starts for these types of buildings so far this year. A total of 2.3 million square metres are started during the period from January to July, up almost 5 per cent from the corresponding period in 2007.

Decrease in dwelling-starts continues

In the first seven months of this year, a total of 13 866 dwellings were started. This is 4 113 less compared to the corresponding period of 2007, a 23 per cent decrease. Started floor space for dwelling purposes was 1.8 million square metres during the first six months of 2008, a reduction of 16 per cent compared to the corresponding period in 2007.

In July a total of 1 099 dwellings were started, 27 per cent less compared to July last year. One must go back to 2002 to find a lower number of dwelling-starts for July month.

Decrease in total building activity

A total of 478 700 square metres of utility floor space were started in July, a decrease of 23 per cent compared with July last year. So far this year building of 4.9 million square metres are registered started - down almost 6 per cent compared with the first seven months of 2007.

Conversion to a new property register

As of 5 November 2007 the municipalities will be transferred in groups from the Ground Parcel, Address and Building Register (GAB) to the new property register, Matrikkelen. All municipalities will be transferred by the end of February 2009. In connection with the conversion there may be some delay in the registration of the municipalities that are being transferred. The Norwegian Mapping and Cadastre Authority has an overview of transfer dates for each municipality .
