Construction is becoming more expensive/ The price of materials is falling, but

The construction sector is going through a challenging period. Although the prices of construction materials have decreased slightly during the beginning of 2026, the total cost of building a home continues to increase, creating new pressure on the market.

The main cause of this increase is workers' salaries, which have increased by about 4.8% compared to a year ago, according to the latest data from INSTAT.

Builders are facing difficulties in finding labor, while in addition to wages, transportation costs and other administrative costs have also increased.

On the other hand, the reduction in the price of materials such as concrete, bricks or plumbing equipment has not been enough to offset the increase in labor costs.

As materials become more accessible, managing construction sites is becoming an increasingly costly business.

For apartment buyers, this report shows that builders are facing new difficulties related not only to the international raw materials market, but to the domestic labor market.

The sector is transforming into a business where the lack of labor is costing more than bricks and iron, which could directly affect the final housing prices for citizens./ CNA
