There were 39 395 building permits granted for buildings in total (i.e. + 2 768 year-on-year) of which residential buildings accounted for 25 400 permits (+ 1 579) and non-residential buildings for 13 995 (+ 1 189).
The number of building permits granted for constructions for environmental protections was 14 772, which translates into an increase of 1 010.
The number of building permits granted for other constructions amounted to 16 908, which is by 3 712 more than in the corresponding period of 2003.
Of the total 71 075 building permits, 33 955 was granted for new construction (47.8%) and 37 120 for renewals and enhancements (52.2%).
Territorially, rather high investment activities are expected in the Středočeský Region (18.0%), Jihomoravský Region (13.0%) and the capital city of Prague (8.9%), which is in contrast to the lowest construction activities expected in the Karlovarský Region (2.7%), the Liberecký Region (3.8%), the Pardubický and Zlínský Region (4.5%).
There were 25 400 building permits granted for residential buildings: 8 180 of them for new construction and 17 220 for renewals and enhancements.

The approximate value of the constructions, for the commencement of which the planning and building control authorities granted building permits by the end of June, amounts to CZK 141 106 million at current prices, which translates into an increase of CZK 11 396 million on the corresponding period of 2003.
