Cubic volume covered by granted building permits grew by good 20 per cent year-on-year in November

According to the preliminary data of Statistics Finland's statistics on building and dwelling production, in November 2013 building permits were granted for a total of 2.9 million cubic metres, which is 20.4 per cent more than one year ago. The growth was mainly due to the cubic volume of building permits granted for public service buildings and commercial and office buildings.
