In the fiscal year 2023, the Japanese construction cost deflator for buildings stood at ***** index points, increasing from ***** points in the previous year. The construction cost deflator is a weighted index estimating the inflation-adjusted price development of construction in Japan, considering expenditures for materials, labor, and investment. What are features of the construction cost deflator? Since 1951, the government has been compiling a deflator for construction costs. It helps, for example, to determine contract prices for public works like roads. Today’s version includes various sub-indices, such as the one for buildings; they may be residential or non-residential, and their structural frames may be either wood, steel, or reinforced concrete. While the deflator considers all of Japan, other price indices give more detailed insight into specific buildings, materials, and regions. Rising energy-prices have spilled over to materials Japan has not been spared by recently inflating energy prices. Accordingly, the domestic construction industry is monitoring the monthly construction material price index. Unlike the deflator, it also provides regional-specific data, showing that although inflation impacted all materials throughout the country, some materials and places were more affected than others. In Tokyo, cement prices have increased by over ** points since fiscal year 2021 – in Osaka, by around **.

Between 2022 and 2025, the construction price of residential and non-residential buildings in Canada has grown at the same pace. The price of both types of buildings was roughly *** percent higher in the last quarter of 2025 than in 2024, which is the year when the index base was set at 100. Nevertheless, that only considers the cost of buildings in 15 selected metropolitan areas in Canada. Toronto was by far the metropolitan region with the highest construction costs in Canada.

What determines construction costs? The growth rate of the construction price of different types of buildings tends to follow similar trends to some extent. For example, price growth rates in Canada for most types of buildings were more moderate in 2024 than in previous years. However, those figures show a lot of disparity, with the cost of building a high rise apartment building growing much faster than that of other types of buildings. This might be because the construction costs depend on elements such as the location, materials, and complexity of the building, which tend to be quite different for each type of building.

Lumber building materials in Canada In 2024, Canada was the world’s second-largest exporter of wood building materials such as veneer sheets, parquet flooring, particleboard, laminated wood, and builders’ joinery and carpentry. Forestry, logging, and processing wood into ready-to-use materials are important industries in the Canadian economy. High price growth rates of building materials impact negatively the construction industry as their activities become more expensive. However, the forestry and logging industry benefited from the cost of lumber rising in 2020 and 2021. In the past years, the price of lumber, however, has fallen again.

The historical series 'New dwellings; input price indices of building costs 2000 = 100, from 1990' shows the development of the costs (wages and materials) involved in building new dwellings in the Netherlands, and has become available by linking series which were calculated separately in the past. An input price index is based on price changes in several cost components involved in realising a product, in this case a new dwelling. Changes in other cost components such as building equipment (tools and machines), general costs, profits and risk are not included in the index. Other cost components, such as energy and transport, are also not taken into account as their influence on the final cost price is relatively modest. Land costs are also not included in the index.

From 1990 to December 1994 only figures of the materials are available. From 1995 onwards this series also includes wage figures. Also from 1995, figures are also available on total building costs by weighted aggregetion of these two series.

Data available from: - Materials: January 1990 - Wages: January 1995 - Total building costs: January 1995

Status of the figures: The price index figures for wages and the total construction costs are final until 2024. The figures for building materials are final until 2024.

Changes as of November 29th, 2024: Since this publication, a switch has been made to a different rounding strategy, whereby the changes are calculated on unrounded index figures and annual figures are calculated from rounded and published figures. With this switch there is more consistency with other statistics on Statline and statistics from Eurostat. As a result, mutations have changed across the entire series.

Changes as of June 30th, 2025: Figures of May 2025 have been added.

When will new figures be published? New figures are published about 30 days after the month under review.

April, May and June 2001; Figures revised in July 2001due to 2% PPF Revised Terms.
March 2002; The drop in the March 2002 figure is due to a decrease in the rate of PRSI from 12% to 10¾% with effect from 1 March 2002.
The index from April 2002 excludes the one-off lump sum payment equal to 1% of basic pay on 1 April 2002 under the PPF.
April, May, June 2003; Figures revised in August'03 due to the backdated increase of 3% from 1April 2003 under the National Partnership Agreement 'Sustaining Progress'.
The increases in April and October 2006 index are due to Social Partnership Agreement "Towards 2016".
March 2011; The drop in the March 2011 figure is due to a 7.5% decrease in labour costs.
Methodology in producing the Index
Prior to October 2006:
The index relates solely to labour and material costs which should normally not exceed 65% of the total price of a house. It does not include items such as overheads, profit, interest charges, land development etc.
The House Building Cost Index monitors labour costs in the construction industry and the cost of building materials. It does not include items such as overheads, profit, interest charges or land development. The labour costs include insurance cover and the building material costs include V.A.T. Coverage:
The type of construction covered is a typical 3 bed-roomed, 2 level local authority house and the index is applied on a national basis.
Data Collection:
The labour costs are based on agreed labour rates, allowances etc. The building material prices are collected at the beginning of each month from the same suppliers for the same representative basket.
Calculation:
Labour and material costs for the construction of a typical 3 bed-roomed house are weighted together to produce the index.
Post October 2006:
The name change from the House Building Cost Index to the House Construction Cost Index was introduced in October 2006 when the method of assessing the materials sub-index was changed from pricing a basket of materials (representative of a typical 2 storey 3 bedroomed local authority house) to the CSO Table 3 Wholesale Price Index. The new Index does maintains continuity with the old HBCI.
The most current data is published on these sheets. Previously published data may be subject to revision. Any change from the originally published data will be highlighted by a comment on the cell in question. These comments will be maintained for at least a year after the date of the value change.

Compared to the overall average of 30 different major cities in the United States, building materials in San Francisco were more expensive than in Chicago. Opposed this is a city like Detroit, Michigian, where the price index of building materials was slightly below the average. What this overview tries to do, then, is compare the major cities against each other and whether one was relatively more expensive than the other when it comes to construction costs. This is especially visible for installation - such as HVAC. The city of New York reached an index of 174 in May 2021, meaning installation costs here were around 74 percent higher than the average cost for the 30 cities combined. Cities found in the state of Texas made up the other end of that spectrum: Installation costs in San Antonio, Houston and Dallas were between 30 to 40 percent lower than the overall average.
