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 construction output price in the United Kingdom has reached an annual growth rate of two percent in September 2024. Construction costs have been increasing at a lower rate than in 2022 and 2023. The year-over-year growth rate reached over ** percent in May and June of 2022. Public and private housing was the construction segment with the highest output price increase. How have material costs developed over the years? Several factors influence construction material costs, including supply and demand, regulatory requirements, and transportation logistics. Manufacturing efficiency and global trade policies also play a big part, along with economic factors like inflation and currency fluctuations. In June 2022, the price of construction materials for new houses in the UK were ** percent higher than in 2015. What is the largest component of those costs? Labor costs are often one of the largest expenses in construction projects. That is due to the skilled nature of the work, which has a high demand for specialized trades. The construction sector's labor costs accounted for around ** percent of the sector's earnings in the United Kingdom in 2023. In the past years, the size of labor costs as a share of the construction sector rose by more than ***** percentage points, indicating that labor costs have increased at a faster rate than the overall revenue of the industry.

Total dollar value and number of projects either in review, pending construction, in construction, or in closure aggregated into California counties, once every two weeks since September 2013. A construction project moves through the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) in four stages - In Review; Pending Construction Start; Under Construction; and In Closure. A project can only be in one of these four stages at any time. Additional data when available will be added to this dataset approximately once every two weeks.

Every month, CBS calculates the series Input Index Number Building Costs of new homes. This shows the development of the costs (wage and material) involved in the construction of new homes in the Netherlands. An input price index is determined on the basis of the price developments of the various cost components from which the product to be realised – in this case a new-build home – is constructed. The composition of this index excludes changes in the prices of equipment (tools and machinery), general costs and “profit & risk”.

Data available from: January 2005 to December 2012.

Statistics Netherlands calculates the monthly input index of building costs for new dwellings to monitor developments in the price level of new dwellings in the Netherlands. The main cost components in the construction of a new dwelling are the costs for wages and materials. Other cost components such as energy and transport are not taken into account because their influence on the final cost price is relatively modest. Land costs are also not included in the index. Starting with the figures of January 2009, the input index is published with 2005 as new base year. At the same time the name has changed. The new series will be calculated ex post from January 2005 onwards. As a result of the rebasing the weighting schemes are adjusted to the situation of 2008.
