Trend
Year-on-year, total construction output rose by 6.6 % at constant prices. The slowdown of growth was
in part affected by the high comparative basis of November 2004. Slowing down was due namely to
new construction and in civil engineering works.
Employment in construction enterprises with 20+ employees grew by 6.6%. The average monthly
wage of employees increased by 5.2% year-on-year and reached CZK 22, 973, the real wage grew by
2.7%. The average hourly wage increased by 6.5% and stood at CZK 148. Labour productivity per

employee was down by 1.2% and labour productivity per hour worked decreased by 0.3%. Unit wage
costs rose by 6.5%.
The planning and building control authorities granted 12 045 building permits in November 2005 (of
which 6 493 for new constructions and 5 552 for renewals and enhancements). The approximate
value of constructions permitted in November reached CZK 30.4 billion (of which new constructions
made up CZK 21.1 billion and renewals and enhancements CZK 9.3 billion).
While the number of building permits granted dropped by 10.8% year-on-year, the approximate value
of permitted constructions grew by 4.9%. Compared to November 2004, the approximate value of nonresidential buildings rose by CZK 3.9 billion, such as shop floors and storage sheds of industrial
enterprises, school and office buildings. In most cases these constructions are expensive. Civil
engineering works had a CZK 2.0 billion share in this increase.
The planning and building control authorities permitted 2 912 dwellings to be constructed, which was
by 486 dwellings fewer than in November 2004. Out of that, 2 469 dwellings will be built as new
constructions (-277 year-on-year). The number of new dwellings obtained by renewals and
enhancements will reach 443 (-209 year-on-year). The approximate value of newly permitted
dwellings in multi-dwelling buildings reached CZK 5.1 billion. The average approximate value of a
dwelling in a new residential building stood at CZK 1.9 million, which translates into CZK 18.5
thousand per m2 of floor space, the average size of dwelling being 105.0 m2. The average
approximate value of a dwelling obtained by renewal or enhancement of an existing residential
building was CZK 1.1 million (average size of dwelling 78.6 m 2, CZK 14.5 thousand per m 2 of floor
space).
