The brick houses from the 1960s and 1970s are the largest group. These are the cavity walls with wall ties that need inspecting, repointing and retrofit insulation — the trade's market is maintenance too, not just new build.

External wall material as registered in BBR. Buildings from before 1900 are not included.

Total for all of Denmark: 1,370,230 residential buildings.

When were the homes you will work in built? The 1960s and 1970s are the biggest decades: more residential buildings were built then than in any other decade.

A block of flats counts as one building, not as many homes.

190 residential buildings have an unknown construction year and are not shown in the figure.

Total for all of Denmark: 1,656,085 residential buildings.
