This table contains figures on the development of construction costs for all categories of new homes. The intended construction costs include the general costs and 'profit and risk' of the contractor, but exclude the land costs and costs of the project developer or real estate agent.
The basic material for this statistic is derived from data reported by municipalities to Statistics Netherlands, originating from building permits issued by them for new homes.

When will new figures become available?
New figures are published about 30 days after the period under review.

Description topics

Price index building costs VAT included
An output price index VAT included measures price changes of a finished good. In this case a dwelling. General costs and 'profit and risk' of the contractor are also included in this price index. This is in contrast to an input price index, which only measures the costs of the product itself (wages and materials).
Output price index
A price index specifies the ratio between the value of a variable in a given time and the value of that variable in a chosen fixed reference period. In this reference period, the index is 100.
Changes compared to one year earlier
The percentage development of a given time period (quarter or year) compared to the same period in the preceding year.

The changes compared to one year earlier of the price indices of the series 2015=100 are based on not rounded figures.
