Subscribe: Construction appears to be on the rebound in Puntarenas province
The Colegio Federado de Ingenieros y Arquitectos reports a surge in construction in the first month of the year. The Colegio said that in January 2010 some 631.000 square metres of construction were approved, 220.000 more than in January 2009.
The majority of the construction is for commercial and residential projects.
Olman Vargas says that this is the third consecutive month of increases in terms of square metres. In 2009, the construction industry decreased by over 40%.
The Colegio indicates that Puntarenas is the province with the single largest increase in the first month of this year. The second is the province of Alajuela.
