title: European Construction Costs & Prices - cost index, producer prices & inflation, cleaned Parquet
description: The COST and PRICE side of European construction - the missing half of our construction-output (volume) product. Eurostat's construction cost index for new residential buildings (input costs: materials + labour) and the construction producer-price index (output prices), plus the annual inflation rate of each - quarterly, per country, one clean Parquet. Read alongside construction-output it separates a real building boom from pure cost inflation; developers use the cost-vs-price gap to model margin compression, and macro desks track it as a sticky component of core inflation. Captures the brutal 2021-23 materials-and-labour cost surge in full.
