Renovation building and newbuilding projects

No change in the share of renovation building from the previous year

The share of renovation building in all building construction projects was 44 per cent, which was the same as in the year before. The value of renovation building was EUR 9.5 billion and that of newbuilding EUR 11.9 billion. The euro-dominated value of renovation building decreased in building construction, whereas in specialised construction the growth increased.

The value of building projects of large enterprises with at least 60 employees focusing on main contracts was EUR 9.9 billion, of which newbuilding constituted 68 per cent. For smaller building construction and specialised construction enterprises, the value of projects was EUR 11.5 billion, of which the share of renovation building was 55 per cent. The value of newbuilding projects decreased in building construction enterprises compared to the previous year.

The statistics do not contain data on the projects of the smallest construction enterprises that employ less than five people. Renovation building concentrates on small construction enterprises and, as the number of employees grows, the share of newbuilding in the enterprise’s building construction projects grows.
