How we count
All acts of the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) (e-Adeies system) posted on Diavgeia, with an issue date within the week. The works come from the Small-Scale Building Works Approvals (Law 4759/2020) that 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. The acts of the latest days may increase slightly, as late ones are posted.
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.
