Notes:
(1) Based on construction certificates issued by Catalonia's colleges of surveyors.
(2) Includes agricultural and sports.
Law 23/2010, of July 22, on the creation of the area of Penedès, divides Catalonia into eight territorial planning areas. This change implies that the data for the Metropolitan Area, Central Counties and Camp de Tarragona are not directly comparable with previous years.

Last update: April 13, 2012.

Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Housing starts
Residential construction project supervised by the college of surveyors.
Establishment
Structurally separate and independent area where economic activities dependent on a company are or could be carried out.

Methodological aspects

The information on buildings started comes from the building work approvals by the Official Associations of Surveyors, Architectural Technicians and Building Engineers of Catalonia.

Since these are administrative data from a set of professional associations, the total construction activity for non-residential buildings in Catalonia is not included.

From 2014 there is a break in the series due to the application of methodological changes.
