NOTES ON METHODOLOGY
Sources and methods of data collection
This First Release presents data collected by using the reporting method on the Monthly Report on Issued Building Permits (GRAĐ-44a form).
Coverage and comparability
The Monthly Report on Issued Building Permits is collected from the administration bodies competent for construction affairs in major cities, the City of Zagreb and counties as well as from the Ministry of Physical Planning, Construction and State Assets, which issue building permits for constructions as specified in the Building Act (NN, Nos 153/13, 20/17, 39/19 and 125/19).
Data on types of constructions and works are classified according to the National Classification of Types of Constructions – NKVG (Methodologies No. 41, ISBN 953-6667-33-9, the Croatian Bureau of Statistics, 2002). This Classification is harmonised with the classification prescribed by the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Classification of Types of Construction − CC, final version).
Definitions
Constructions are structures connected with the ground, for which construction works are carried out and which are made of construction materials and ready-made components.
Buildings are permanent constructions covered with roof and closed with outer walls. They are built as separate useful units that protect from weather and other external conditions, intended for dwelling, for performing a certain activity or for placing and up-keeping of animals, goods, equipment used in various industrial activities and services etc.
In this survey, buildings are also constructions covered with roof but without (some of the) walls, e.g., porches and underground constructions, such as underground shelters, underground garages, underground shopping centres and other business spaces (e.g. in subways) etc.
Residential buildings are constructions in which 50% or more of the useful floor area is intended for dwelling purposes.
Non-residential buildings are constructions without dwelling area, in which less than 50% of the total useful floor area is used for dwelling purposes.
Floor area of a building is a sum total of areas of all floors of the building placed inside the outer walls.
Useful floor area of a dwelling is a floor area of the dwelling, measured inside the walls of the dwelling.
Volume of building is the sum total of volumes of all roofed -over spaces of the building, including outer walls.
Civil engineering works are all constructions not classified under buildings, for example roads, railways, pipelines, bridges, dams, constructions intended for sports and recreation etc.
New construction is a structure newly built on a location where no structure existed or on a location previously cleared by demolition.
Reconstructions are construction works that effect main characteristics of already existing constructions, for example, additions and extensions, conversions and other works, which may significantly improve the occupancy value of a construction (for example capacity, quality, function) and/or prolong or at least restore its duration.
Value of works is defined according to the bill of costs submitted by an investor. It is used for defining a tax paid for issuing of building permit.
