The built environment, the floor area of dwellings, rents, and building costs are all topics on which the Federal Statistical Office regularly disseminates data. By bringing these subjects together in the second edition of ValueS, the FSO aims to provide the building blocks necessary for an understanding of the interactions between the different areas that make up the whole field of construction. 

 

The magazine is published twice a year.

You can subscribe to ValueS free of charge.
