Construction orders fell 22.5% in the last quarter of 2011 compared to the same period last year.
This was partly due to the fall recorded in the construction of new buildings which was near to 24%, according to figures released by the National Statistics Institute (INE).
Orders for engineering works also fell 20.5% following a fall in July-September of 27.5%.
