Current Note: Starting with the reporting month of January 2026, the Construction cost index will be published with base year 2025.
The Construction cost index tracks the development of costs incurred by construction enterprises (contractors, professionals) in the performance of construction services. Among other things, the Construction cost index reflects monthly changes in material, energy, transportation, and labor costs, as well as the costs for the use of machinery, which construction enterprises in Austria must bear for ongoing domestic construction projects. The index is calculated for residential buildings as well as for the three civil engineering sectors: road construction, bridge construction and other civil engineering.
Initial preliminary results are published 15 days after the end of the reporting month, and final values after 75 days.
