Berlin (dpa / bb) - The construction industry has not suffered any major losses in the Corona crisis.
On the contrary: the companies in Berlin and Brandenburg can look back on a year of growth.
A turnover of 3.65 billion euros in Berlin's main construction trade corresponded to an increase of five percent, as the Berlin-Brandenburg Statistics Office announced on Friday.
Compared to 2019, growth has accelerated;
the number of employees also increased.
In Brandenburg the trend was even stronger.
In 2020 there was an increase in sales of almost 21 percent to around 3.9 billion euros.
A look at the order books provides a different picture: while the inventory at the Brandenburg companies remained stable, the volume in Berlin fell by a good fifth.
Orders fell, especially towards the end of the year.
The statistics include information from companies with 20 or more employees.
