Construction output was by 2.3% higher, month-on-month, in August; in the year-on-year comparison, it increased by 17.1%. Production in building construction increased by 11.2% and the civil engineering construction increased by 27.4%. “Construction output has been continually increasing since November 2024. During recent months, even with double-digit growth rate. The increase is also contributed to by unfinished civil engineering construction,” Radek Matějka, Director of the Agricultural and Forestry, Industrial, Construction, and Energy Statistics Department of the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO), says.
The approximate value of constructions for which a building permit was granted in August reached CZK 56.7 billion and increased by 12.2%, year-on-year. “The year-on-year growth of the approximate value of constructions in August was contributed to by granting a permit for a larger amount of constructions with budgets over CZK one billion. After modelling the deduction of those constructions, the approximate value would be slightly below the level from August 2024,” Petra Cuřínová, Head of the Construction Statistics Unit of the CZSO, explains.
Construction of 2 757 dwellings started in August 2025 and the number decreased by 0.4%, year-on-year. The number of completed dwellings amounted to 3 033, which was a year-on-year increase by 35.4%.
According to Eurostat data, the construction output in the EU27 in July 2025 increased by 3.6%, year-on-year. According to a preliminary release calendar, Eurostat will release data for August 2025 on 20 October 2025.
