As for building materials and products, the largest price growth over the year was observed for pipes – 1.2, general building materials – 1, electrical engineering materials – 0.7%, while price drop – insulation materials (3.5%), finishing materials (1.3%).
As for buildings and structures, the largest price growth over the year was observed for the construction of utility infrastructure (except for wastewater pipelines) – 2.7%. Renovation of buildings went up in price by 2.8%.
The influence on the overall change in construction input prices is determined not only by change in the construction input component price but also by the relative share (weight) of that component in the total value of construction.
