Building construction price indexes (BCPI), percent change, by type of building and construction division. Quarterly data are available from the first quarter of 1982. The table presents quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year percentage changes for various aggregation levels. The base period for the index is (2017=100).

Italy - Construction cost index was EUR104.80 points in June of 2019, according to the EUROSTAT. Trading Economics provides the current actual value, an historical data chart and related indicators for Italy - Construction cost index - last updated from the EUROSTAT on September of 2025. Historically, Italy - Construction cost index reached a record high of EUR104.80 points in June of 2019 and a record low of EUR70.00 points in March of 1995.

From 2015 to 2024, the construction output prices of public and private housing increased by ***** percent in the United Kingdom (UK). Meanwhile, the prices of industrial buildings increased by ***** percent during that period, and infrastructure prices by ***** percent. Housing and industrial are the segments that increased the most during that period. Balfour Beatty ranked in the past years as the construction firm with the largest revenue in the UK.

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.

Austria - Construction cost index was EUR118.00 points in June of 2025, according to the EUROSTAT. Trading Economics provides the current actual value, an historical data chart and related indicators for Austria - Construction cost index - last updated from the EUROSTAT on September of 2025. Historically, Austria - Construction cost index reached a record high of EUR118.00 points in June of 2025 and a record low of EUR39.50 points in March of 1990.

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 January 2025.

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 July 30th, 2025: Figures of June 2025 have been added.

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

Building materials made of steel, copper and other metals had some of the highest price growth rates in the U.S. in the first half of 2025 in comparison to the previous year. The growth rate of the cost of several construction materials was slightly lower than in late 2024. It is important to note, though, that the figures provided are Producer Price Indices, which cover production within the United States, but do not include imports or tariffs. This might matter for lumber, as Canada's wood production is normally large enough that the U.S. can import it from its neighboring country. Construction material prices in the United Kingdom Similarly to these trends in the U.S., at that time the price growth rate of construction materials in the UK were generally lower 2024 than in 2023. Nevertheless, the cost of some construction materials in the UK still rose that year, with several of those items reaching price growth rates of over **** percent. Considering that those materials make up a very big share of the costs incurred for a construction project, those developments may also have affected the average construction output price in the UK. Construction material shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic During the first years of the COVID-19 pandemic, there often were supply problems and material shortages, which created instability in the construction market. According to a survey among construction contractors, the construction materials most affected by shortages in the U.S. during most of 2021 were steel and lumber. This was also a problem on the other side of the Atlantic: The share of building construction companies experiencing shortages in Germany soared between March and June 2021, staying at high levels for over a year. Meanwhile, the shortage of material or equipment was one of the main factors limiting the building activity in France in June 2022.

The historical series 'Civil engineering; input price index 2000=100, since 1979' represents the trend of the costs of labour, material and equipment involved in projects in various areas of civil engineering (in Dutch: Grond-, Weg- en Waterbouw (GWW)) in the Netherlands. This series was created by linking independently calculated series from the past. At this moment, there are eight areas within civil engineering. These areas are based on the standard Classification Products to Activity (CPA). There is also one area of which the observation has stopped. For each area a series is calculated based on the price developments of various cost components of which the product to be realised -in this case a civil engineering project- is constructed.. The price index for the total of civil engineering is a weighted average of the eight areas. The published price indices of civil engineering are based on the average price level of the month in question. Changes in the overall costs and 'profit and risks' are not taken into account. Changes in excise duties (such as that of diesel, used in civil engineering works, from 1/1/2013) are also not reflected in the price indices. Changes compared with twelve months previously are also published for all indices.

Data available from: The various series of price indices of Civil Engineering cover different periods. Some start in 1979, while others start at the shift to 2000=100. For each series, the period for which it contains figures is given below: - Constructions for fluids: February 1979 - Road construction: February 1979 - Road maintenance: February 1979; discontinued from October 2004 - Site preparation works: February 1979 - Constructions and construction works for utility projects for fluids Januari 1979 - Civil engineering works: January 2000 - Bridges and tunnels: January 2000 - Railways and underground railways: January 2000 - Constructions for water projects: January 2000 - Electrical installation works: January 2000

Status of the figures: Index figures up to November 2024 are definite. Other index figures are provisional. The period the price indices remain provisional depends on the moment that the collectively negotiated (CAO) wage rates for the construction industry are definite. This period can vary from 4 to about 16 months after the period under review.

Changes as of May 28th 2025: Following an adjustment in the weights, the figures have been changed. The months February to April have also been added

Changes as of February 28th 2025: The figures for January 2025 are added to the table. Also all the individual months from January 2024 were added to the table. This is due to an updated method with the new base year 2020=100.

Changes as of March 3th 2025: Figures were not put in the correct columns due to an error in the source file. This has now been corrected.

When will new figures be published? Provisional figures for May, June and July 2025 will be published at the end of August 2025.
