Renovation building and newbuilding projects

No change in the share of renovation building from 2017

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 9.2 billion and that of newbuilding EUR 12.0 billion. The growth in the euro-dominated value of renovation building slowed down in both building construction and specialised construction.

The value of building projects of large enterprises with over 50 employees focusing on main contracts was EUR 11.7 billion, of which newbuilding constituted 69 per cent. For smaller building construction and specialised construction enterprises, the value of projects was EUR 9.5 billion, of which the share of renovation building was 58 per cent. Newbuilding projects grew in building construction enterprises.

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