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 data 2015 - 2025 are final. All figures for 2026 are provisional.

Changes as of 22 April 2026:
Data for March 2026 are added. Data for January - February 2026 have been updated with the BAG extract of 8 April 2026.

The topics 'Correction to previous stock, positive' en 'Correction to stock, negative' have been derived for the first time. For more information, see Definitions.

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

In some cases, a change has been implemented in the BAG whereby the address data is only valid after the validity of the change, or the address data has been withdrawn after the reference date.
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.
Building permits new construction
Added to the stock through new construction.
Construction started
Number of accommodation objects for which construction has begun in this time period
Construction started, no permit
Number of accommodation objects where construction has begun in this time period, but for which no building permit has been registered
Canceled new construction
Number of accommodation objects that will not be constructed (with a canceled building permit and/or a canceled ’construction begun’ registration)
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
