Methodological Information

Purpose and coverage

The purpose is to collect basic data concerning residential and non-residential buildings as well as other construction activities such as civil engineering projects, land division and road construction, by province (urban and rural areas). For each category of project, information is compiled on the number of permits issued, the area and value of the project and the number of housing units planned to be built.

All building permits issued by local government authorities, i.e. town halls, provincial administrations of the Ministry of Interior and the Community Council of Agios Tychonas, are covered.

Data collection

The Statistical Service receives on a monthly basis from all local government authorities copies of all building permit forms issued by them. The information contained in the forms is appropriately coded by the Statistical Office to produce the statistics. The EU Classification of Construction (CC) is used to categorise the different building projects.
