Description topics

Basis index figures 15 February 1995=100
In the period 1995-1997, price indices were only available for the months
February and August. From 1998, indices are available for the months
January, April, July and October.
Index figures
Road construction
Road construction with brick paving
The price index is based on price developments of wages, building
materials and equipment essential to road construction with brick paving.
Road construction with asphalt paving
The price index is based on price developments of wages, building
materials and equipment essential to road construction partly with
asphalt and partly with concrete paving.
Changes compared to 1 year previously
The changes reflect the increase in the price index of a particular month
compared to the same month one year previously calculated to one decimal.
Road construction
Road construction with brick paving
The changes are calculated from the price indices on road construction
with brick paving compared to the same month one year previously.
Road construction with asphalt paving
The changes are calculated from the price indices on road construction
with asphalt/concrete paving compared to the same month one year
previously.
Basis index figures 15 February 1979=100
Until 1998, index figures were calculated twice a year, i.e. on
15 February and 15 August. From 1998, these index figures are no longer
available.
Construction sewerage
Constr. sewerage outside built-up areas
The price index is based on the construction of sewer systems
and includes:
- digging of trenches;
- laying of concrete sewage pipes;
- refilling of trenches;
- removing of surplus soil.
Because these activities are very rare, this series was discontinued in
1996.
Constr. sewerage inside built-up areas
The price index is based on the construction and renovation of sewer
systems and includes:
- breaking up and removing of brick and asphalt paving;
- digging of trenches;
- laying of concrete sewage pipes;
- construction of sewage pipes;
- refilling of trenches;
- removing of surplus soil.
Road construction
Road construction with brick paving
The price index is based on breaking up and reconstructing roads with
brick paving and includes:
- breaking up and cleaning of current brick paving;
- excavation and surface profiling of new stretches of road;
- removing of surplus soil;
- delivery of new bricks;
- paving of new stretches of road.
Road construction with asphalt paving
The price index is based on breaking up and laying new asphalt and
concrete surfaces and includes:
- demolition and transport of current surfaces;
- excavation and surface profiling of new stretches of road;
- removing of surplus soil;
- laying of new concrete and asphalt paving;
- road marking.
Road construction
The price index is based on maintenance of asphalt and brick roads
and includes:
- breaking up and removing of current asphalt surfaces;
- breaking up and cleaning of current brick paving;
- profiling of new surfaces;
- removing of surplus soil;
- laying of new brick and asphalt paving.
