The most complete index of construction costs figures

Construction costs Index tries to provide the most comprehensive picture of the Dutch construction costs market. IGG has categorized all building types from the Building Cost Compass into various main and subgroups. The index figures are calculated per quarter for each building type. In addition, composite index numbers are also available. Each individual building type is assigned a weighting factor to determine how much it takes into account in the composite group figure. An overall index figure for Dutch housing is also calculated. This is compiled from statistics and index numbers of around 1,250 building types.

Construction costs Index also makes a distinction between the construction costs index and the procurement index; the first follows the direct purchase of the contractor, while the second tries to give a picture of the prices that contractors charge for the realization of building components. This way you not only know what the purchase prices of specific facets of your project are, but also what is charged for this in the current market.

The construction costs market is constantly changing - changing material and labor costs, innovations in the construction sector and emerging trends all influence the construction costs that contractors and other parties involved have to deal with.
