Eurostat’s methodological manual says the dwelling indicator covers dwellings in new one-dwelling buildings and in new residential buildings with two or more dwellings. In Q2, the year-on-year change was an increase of 10.7% for one-dwelling buildings and 16.2% for buildings with two or more dwellings.

The manual says the indicator can provide an early indication of the construction industry’s future workload, while cautioning that the relationship may be weaker when permits are not used or when a long time elapses between permission and the start of work. The 14.3% annual increase therefore does not prove that an equal proportion of homes was completed, entered the market or became ready for sale. Nor can the data directly establish house prices, rents, housing affordability or future construction volumes.","The quarter covers April through June 2026 and is identified as `2026-Q2` in the source dataset.
