For crews and suppliers
An apartment building that received a permit in June will need excavation and frame in the following months, and later electrical, plumbing, insulation, windows and doors and floors. The projects, with their address and date, are on the map; see also the figures for the year.
How we count
We count only new apartment buildings: buildings with at least 4 levels and dwellings on at least 2 floors. Each project counts once, on the date of the first building permit; revisions, updates and pre-approvals do not count as a new permit. A permit does not mean that works have started.
The works come from the Small-Scale Building Works Approvals (Law 4759/2020) that the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) posts on Diavgeia, based on the standardised catalogue of works on the form. An act may list more than one work, so it counts in each relevant category. Source: TEE acts on Diavgeia. The numbers are recalculated every evening, because some acts are posted late.
