Print version |
|---|
In the 2nd quarter, compared to the same quarter of the previous year, the construction price index was primarily affected by an increase in the cost of labour, which accounted for three quarters of the total increase of the index.
Compared to the previous quarter, the costs of building materials increased by 0.3%, the costs of building machines by 0.7% and labour by 0.4%.
In the 2nd quarter of 2018, the change of the repair and reconstruction work price index was 0.4% compared to the 1st quarter of 2018 and 1.7% compared to the 2nd quarter of 2017.
The calculation of the construction price index covers four groups of buildings: detached houses, blocks of flats, industrial buildings and office buildings. The repair and reconstruction work price index covers office buildings. The construction price index expresses the change in the expenditures on construction taking into consideration the price changes of three basic inputs: labour force, building materials and building machines.
