Table explanation
This table provides information on price developments in the construction industry. Data were calculated by Statistic Netherlands (CBS) and are based on building permits with a value of 50 thousand euros or more issued by municipal authorities, and the reported construction costs as stated in the permits. On the basis of these building permits and the construction time, construction output is calculated by means of average waiting times prior to the start of the construction activities.
Price indices listed in the table are used to eliminate the effect of price changes on the construction output. Therefore, the price index can be used to as a deflator to calculate volume developments in the building sector.
Price indices are calculated for two sections (Construction of new buildings and Other buildings) and three sectors (dwellings, buildings for the private sector and buildings for the (semi-)public or non-commercial sector).
Data available from: 1st quarter 2015
Status of the figures:
Price index figures up to and including the 2nd quarter 2023 and the annual figure 2022 are final.
Changes since 30 July 2024:
The figures of the 2nd quarter 2024 have been added to the table.
Due to a method improvement the indices for the subseries New dwellings in the period 2019 quarter 3 and the subseries Existing buildings private sector in the period 2021 quarter 3 have been corrected by 0.1 index point. The improvement relates to the underlying price indices used to eliminate the effect of price changes on the construction output.
When will new figures become available?
Provisional figures for the 3rd quarter of 2024 will be released in October 2024.
