Table explanation


This table contains monthly figures on the input price index of new dwellings; input price indices building costs to monitor the costs of new dwellings (labour and materials) in the Netherlands.

An input price index is determined on the basis of price changes of the various cost components making up the product - in this case a new dwelling.
Changes in the prices of building equipment (tools and machinery), general costs, profit and risk are not included in the input price index. Other cost components, such as energy and transport, are also not taken into account as their influence on the final cost price is relatively modest. Land costs are also not included in the index.

Data available from: January 2018

Status of the figures:
The price index figures for wages and the total construction costs are final until 2023.
The figures for building materials are final until April 2024.

Changes as of October 30th, 2024:
Figures for the month of September have been added.

Since this publication, a switch has been made to a different rounding strategy, whereby the changes are calculated on unrounded index figures and annual figures are calculated from rounded and published figures. With this switch there is more consistency with other statistics on Statline and statistics from Eurostat. As a result, mutations have changed across the entire series.

When will new figures be published?
New figures are published about 30 days after the month under review.

Description topics

Input price indices
Input price indices are based on producers’ costs. Input price indices of new dwellings relate to the prices of labour and building materials. The series is calculated from changes in labour prices in construction and costs of materials used in residential building.

Changes in the prices of building equipment (tools and machinery), general costs, profit and risk are not included in the input price index.
Changes compared to one year earlier
Year-on-year change, expressed as a percentage. The price index of a period compared with the price index of the same period one year earlier.

The year-on-year changes of the price indices of the series 2010=100 is calculated based on unrounded price indices. The percentages mentioned in the table from 1990 with 2000 as base year are based on rounded price indices until review period January 2013. Therefore the year-on-year development can differ from the percentages provided in this table. From 2013 on, the year-on-year developments in both tables are calculated on unrounded price indices.
