Share of renovation building diminished in medium-size enterprises

The share of renovation building of all building construction projects fell to 39 per cent. In medium-size enterprises with 10 to 59 employees, the share of renovation building decreased by ten percentage points from the year before. The value of renovation building was EUR 7.7 billion and that of newbuilding EUR 11.9 billion. The growth in the euro-dominated value of renovation building fell in both building construction and specialised construction.

The value of building projects of large enterprises with at least 60 employees focusing on main contracts was EUR 9.7 billion, of which newbuilding constituted 70 per cent. The value of projects was EUR 1.5 billion for small construction enterprises and EUR 8.5 billion for medium-size enterprises. The value of newbuilding projects fell from the previous year in building construction and rose in specialised construction.

Of renovation building, 49 per cent was directed to residential buildings and 51 per cent to other buildings. 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.
