Materials

In April 2015, prices of materials for construction of buildings were virtually stable (+0.1%), the increase in the price of blocks and slabs (+0.9%) being offset by the fall in the price of ribbed bars in steel (-0.5%). In civil engineering, the prices of materials slowed significantly (+0.2% after +2.4%), due to the stabilization of the price of bitumen (-0.1% in April after +11.9% in March; -36.4% over a year).

Equipment

In April 2015, the equipment cost increased in all construction activities, especially in finishing work (+ 0.9% after + 0.2%, + 2.6% over a year), mainly reflecting the price rise of "other machine tools”.

Energy

In April 2015, energy cost diminished slightly in construction of buildings (-0.3% after +3.0%; –7.6% over a year), due to the slight dowturn back of gas oil prices. In contrast, it increased in civil engineering (+2.0% after +1.2%; -8.0% over a year), due to the upsurge in price of heavy fuel oil (+12.5% in April 2015).
