the main barriers
The CBS tables show that despite an increase in construction starts in several municipalities, the general increase is moderated due to a lack of land, which explains the increase in apartment prices last year by about 20%. Among the
significant barriers found in the report is the lack of land available for construction ( about 28.1%), delays in obtaining permits (about 26.2%).
However, compared to 2021, there has been an improvement in the position of managers in the construction industry towards these indicators.
In total, it also appears that in 2022 the construction of 51,930 apartments was completed, an increase of 10.5% compared to 2021. The average construction time of a building (weighted by the number of apartments in it) is 33.1 months.
