Non-residential building is noticeably starting to pick up pace. Of the consents in the first half of 2012, $404 million was for non-residential building work.
Residential work has been slower to pick up and activity is still below pre-quake levels.
The data comes from a Statistics New Zealand report out today, which said the rebuilding was largely being funded by insurance claims.
New Zealand insurance companies had made $15.7 billion worth of claims on overseas reinsurers for all the Canterbury earthquakes.
As at March 31 2012, about a quarter of these claims had been settled with overseas reinsurers.
Statistics NZ said there were $11.9 billion worth of claims outstanding.
In addition, at least $4 billion of insurance claims have been made on the Earthquake Commission over and above the international claims.
