USERS ARE KINDLY REQUESTED TO STATE THE SOURCE WHEN USING THE DATA
Statistical data from the field of construction are the basis for analysing the situation and taking measures in the field of residential construction, planning the production of building materials and ready-made components and other industrial products for fitting buildings and dwellings, as well as for making decisions on the development of construction entrepreneurship and various housing-related services. Data on the construction of dwellings are also the basis for analysing the situation on the market in the Republic of Croatia and estimating its size.
The gross volume index of construction works in 2025, as compared to the base year 2021, increased by 33.8%. The number of dwellings is the indicator of issued building permits that stands out most due to its increase of 6.9% in 2025, as compared to 2024.
After years of continuous growth in the number of building permits issued, a slight decline of 0.8% occurred in 2025; however, compared to 2019, the number of permits in 2025 was 18.1% higher.
Compared to the base year 2021, the average price index of new dwellings sold per 1 m2 increased by 54.3% in 2025. It is important to mention that dwellings sold according to POS (Programme of State-Subsidised Housing Construction) were also included in the calculation. The price of 1 m2 of a dwelling sold includes costs of building sites, construction costs and other costs such as fees on acquiring building permits, building design and drafting, land surveying activities, supervision of construction, different taxes, insurance costs, interests on loans, VAT, expenses and profit of the business entity which ordered the construction for further sale on the market.
In 2025, there were 18 338 new dwellings completed, which was 10.1% more than in 2024, and their average useful floor area was 90.4 m2.
In the average price structure per 1 m2 of new dwellings sold in 2025, construction costs and the constructor's profit margins were most prominent, with a share of 58.8%. Dwellings sold according to POS were excluded from the calculation.
