Interest.co.nz has a new data resource for readers interested in building consent trends.
The new set of data tables analyse building consent trends for both residential and commercial buildings, allowing readers to see at at glance the major trends by both building type and location.
As well as displaying basic information such as the number of consents issued and their combined value, the tables show the average value of consents being issued by building type and location, the average size and value of the buildings being consented and also the estimated average building value per square metre.
For residential consents the data is available for the major dwelling types of standalone houses, apartments, townhouses/home units and retirement village units, in each of the main centres and nationally.
For commercial building consents the data is available for industrial, retail, office and hotel/motel consents issued in each the major regions with significant levels of commercial building activity and also nationally.
The tables are collated quarterly from Statistic NZ's data.
The residential consent tables are available here and the commercial consent tables are available here, or you can access them from the drop down menu under the property tab in the subject bar near the top of interest.co.nz's home page.
