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 started buildings 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.
