Notes:

(i) a new building "project" is any construction costing more than £150,000 which is not wholly maintenance;

(ii) number of projects in construction at 30 September each year; most projects span several years and therefore appear more than once;

(iii) in 1988 occupying departments became responsible for funding new building projects in specialised buildings and single occupations;

(iv) in 1990 occupying departments took on substantial responsibility for funding maintenance work. 1990–91 figures include fees in addition to works costs;

(v) excludes PSA's own occupation but includes Property Holdings, Building Research Establishment and the occupied and unoccupied royal palaces.
