Building permits

Building permits

The number of permits for every type of building: residential, residential for communities, administrative and the rest — hotels, retail and others. It is larger than the figure above, which counts residential buildings only: in June 2026, 3,517 against 2,960. These are permits for BUILDINGS, not dwellings; in the same month INS publishes, in another matrix, 9,190 authorised dwellings, and the two figures are not to be compared.

Derived figure. INS publishes no total across types of building in any of the 1,916 Tempo matrices, so this figure is our sum over the categories it does publish. It can be checked: the same matrix also holds one annual value per category, and the twelve months of each year add up exactly to it — all 130 year × category pairs that have data match, not one is out. That is also where reading a missing cell as zero comes from: in the five years in which a category has a month without a figure, the published months still give exactly the annual value. For 2026 there is no annual value yet, so the two recent months without a figure are read as zero by analogy with the earlier years, not verified. From January 2009 INS publishes “other buildings” split into its three components; the total covers the same types of building both before and after, but it could NOT be checked figure by figure that the three components reproduce the old aggregate, because INS publishes the aggregate only up to December 2008 and the components only from January 2009 — no month and no year contains both.

All types of building

The total usable floor area, in square metres, authorised by those same permits. It says something different from their number: a month with fewer permits can authorise more square metres, if the buildings going up are larger.
