APRIL 2011 HIGHLIGHTS
The estimated cost of construction authorized by building permits was $899.3 million in April. This was $191.6 million less than last month, a decline of 17.1 percent. 556 municipalities reported. April 2011 activity was $29 million less than the $928.3 million authorized in April 2010, for a decline of 3.1 percent.
Residential work was $338.7 million and accounted for 37.7 percent of all authorized construction. New homes totaled $121.3 million, or 13.5 percent of authorized construction. Building permits were issued for 1,038 new houses in April, down by 11.4 percent compared to last month.
Between January and April 2011, there were 3,786 authorized dwellings. There were 3,474 authorized dwellings for the same time period last year (January through April 2010). New home construction in the first four months of 2011 increased by 312 units or nearly 9 percent compared to last year Two years ago for this same time period (January through April 2009), there were 3,451 authorized dwellings. Three years ago (January through April 2008) there were 6,720 units.
The dollar amount of construction in the first four months of 2011 totaled $3.44 billion. This was $574.4 million more than this time last year, an increase of 16.7 percent.
Livingston Township in Essex County, Toms River in Ocean County, and Atlantic City in Atlantic County had the most construction in April. Public school renovations accounted for most of the work in Livingston. The big project reported in Toms River was a $30.2 million addition to the Ocean County jail. A new school accounted for $21.6 million of work in Atlantic City.

HE NEW JERSEY CONSTRUCTION REPORTER contains statistics on construction activity in New Jersey. Information in the report comes from construction officials who administer the State Uniform Construction Code (UCC) (N.J.A.C. 5:23-1 et seq.) in New Jersey’s 566
municipalities. Each month, construction officials send to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) reports on the permits and certificates they issue. Permits authorize the start of construction and cover four types of activity: (1) New construction permits authorize the start of a new structure. (2) Permits for additions refer to work that will add space (volume and square feet) to an existing building. (3) Alterations also involve existing structures, but the work authorized will not add space. Typically, construction officials issue permits for alterations when the work is subject to one or more of the UCC’s major subcodes (building, electrical, plumbing, fire protection). (4) Demolition permits authorize the removal of a building or some other structure. The CONSTRUCTION REPORTER identifies only those demolitions that will result in the loss of housing. In addition to permits, the CONSTRUCTION REPORTER has information on the certificates issued by construction officials. While permits authorize the start of construction, certificates are issued for work completed and ready for occupancy. Each month, the CONSTRUCTION REPORTER will report on the number of housing units and the amount of office and retail space authorized for construction, along with the number of housing units and the amount of office and retail space completed. Data Comparability The CONSTRUCTION REPORTER contains information on authorized housing units that is tabulated two different ways. The DCA tabulates Tables 1 through 3 and Tables 8 through 13 based on the use of buildings, defined in “groups” by New Jersey’s UCC. Exhibit B on page 3 summarizes these groups. Tables 4, 5, and 6 show authorized housing units as defined and tabulated by the United States Census Bureau. The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development prepares these tables for publication in the CONSTRUCTION REPORTER. Exhibit C on page 4 describes the housing definitions used by the Census Bureau. The DCA series and the Census Bureau series on authorized housing units differ two important ways. First, the DCA series includes housing units created as a result of permits issued to alter or make additions to existing structures. The Census Bureau counts only those housing units authorized from permits issued for new construction. Second, the Census Bureau imputes data for localities that fail to submit monthly reports on time. An asterisk in the Census column of data appearing in the Municipal Summary Data table at the back of the CONSTRUCTION REPORTER indicates those towns with imputed data. The Census Bureau bases these imputations on historic trends. The DCA series shows information for only those towns that submitted monthly reports. If a municipality failed to submit a monthly report on time, “No report” appears in the appropriate columns in the Municipal Summary Data table. Additional Terms A number of other terms appear in the tables throughout the CONSTRUCTION REPORTER. Exhibit A on page 2 defines additional construction permit and certificate terms.

NOTE: Users of the monthly CONSTRUCTION REPORTER may notice that year-to-date figures in a particular issue may not be obtained by merely summing the monthly totals that appear in previous issues. This is because the construction data compiled by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs are continuously updated. Monthly construction reports submitted too late to make the January issue of the CONSTRUCTION REPORTER, for example, are included in the year-to-date totals that appear in the February issue.
