Table explanation


This table contains data on the lifecycle of dwellings and non-residential buildings, from building permits to new construction, additions to existing buildings, demolition and withdrawals. The table contains the total stock of accommodation objects, mutations in the stock, construction begun, building permits for new construction and additions, and changes in utilisation function. The data have been derived from the Base registration Addresses and Buildings (BAG). Non-residential buildings have been broken down according to their different use functions. The data are further subdivided into parts of the country, provinces, COROP areas and municipalities.

Data available from: January 2015.

Status of the figures:
All figures are provisional.

Changes as of 28 May 2026:
Data for April 2026 are added. Data for January until March 2026 have been updated with the BAG extract of 8 May 2026.

When will new figures be published?
The new figures will be published approximately three weeks after the reporting month.

This change is non-adressable and is not included in the publication. The final stock differs from the initial stock plus the balance of the change, or the initial stock differs from the final stock of the previous month.

New construction, total
Total number of accommodation objects added to the stock through new construction
New construction, no constr started
Number of accommodation objects added to the stock through new construction for which no ’construction begun’ was registered
New constr, no permit, no constr started
Number of accommodation objects added to the stock through new construction for which no building permit, or ’construction begun’ was registered
Change of use function, positive
