On the other hand, activity in civil engineering construction (-5.8% vs -5.5%) declined at a faster pace due to a high comparison base. A total of 5,497 building permits were granted, up 13.4% year-on-year, driven by a higher number of permits for family houses, while the floor area of new building construction fell 17.2% due to fewer permitted multi-dwelling buildings.
