1.1. Introduction<br />

In this publication the building statistics for <strong>2004</strong> and<br />

the statistics on existing buildings at January 2005 are<br />

presented.<br />

Both of the statistics are based on The Ground Property,<br />

Address and Building Register (GAB-register).<br />

This register is owned by the Ministry of Environment,<br />

with the Norwegian Mapping Authority professionally<br />

responsible. The County Mapping Offices administrate<br />

the register system in the districts and together with<br />

each of the municipalities they are responsible for recording<br />

the data.<br />

The building statistics measure the developments in<br />

building activities for all types of buildings. Statistics<br />

Norway has published the building statistics since<br />

1967. The building statistics includes all new buildings,<br />

but changes in the existing building stock are not included.<br />

The statistics of existing buildings provides an <strong>over</strong>view<br />

of the number of existing buildings in Norway<br />

broken down by type of building and counties/municipalities.<br />

1.2. Main results<br />

Building statistics<br />

In <strong>2004</strong>, a total of 29 999 new dwellings were registered<br />

started in Norway. This is 6 822 more new dwellings<br />

compared to 2003. Totally 3 543 000 square metres<br />

utility floor space for dwelling purposes where<br />

started, 19,8 per cent more than in 2003.<br />

The total of non-residential building area started in<br />

<strong>2004</strong> amounted to 4 122 000 square metres of utility<br />

floor space, an increase of 9.0 per cent compared with<br />

2003.<br />

Figure 1.1 shows the development in the building of<br />

new dwellings since Statistics Norway started the<br />

building statistics in 1967. The number of dwelling<br />

starts was on a high level during the 1970`s, and<br />

reached a top in 1971 with <strong>over</strong> 44 000 new dwellings.<br />

From the end of the 1970`s and to the beginning of<br />

the 1990`s the number of new dwellings each year<br />

decreased, and in 1984 the number of dwelling starts<br />

came below 30 000. After 1984 the number of new<br />

dwellings has been below 30 000 each year, and in<br />

1992 the number of new dwellings reached its lowest<br />

level with only 15 600 new dwellings. 29 999 dwelling<br />

starts were recorded in Norway in <strong>2004</strong>.<br />
