Material costs in construction

Attention !

  • From January 2010 onward the material costs indices have been drawn up according to NACE 08 nomenclature.

  • From now on the material costs indices will receive base year 2005 = 100.

  • The new material costs indices list will be adapted to the new nomenclature and expanded.

Transition from NACE 03 to NACE 08 nomenclature

From January 2010 onward the material costs indices will be drawn up according to the new NACE 08 nomenclature and will receive base year (2005 = 100). The two indices must be linked with each other.

General index

The general index (base=2005) is still calculated in the same way. Only the base year changes.

The general index (base=2005) is obtained by dividing the general index (base=2000) by 108.36083333 – the annual average of this index in 2005.

Specific material indices for construction

The specific sector indices that were calculated in the old nomenclature will no longer be published from 2010 onward.

A new list has been composed with specific sectors for construction materials. The list takes into account the new nomenclature, the usability of the sectors for construction and our data collection.

The indices for these specific sectors are calculated in the new nomenclature and have 2005 as base year.
