Materials
In February 2015, prices of materials for construction of buildings were virtually stable (+0.1%), the rebound of prices in profiled steel (+0.9%), being offset by the fall in prices of non-alloy steel products (-0.8%). In civil engineering, the prices of materials kept declining (–1.4%), due to the drop of bitumen (-5.3%).

Energy
In February 2015, cost of energy recovered strongly in building construction (+5.0% after -5,3%; –11.5% over a year), due to the rebound of oil prices. It increased even more in civil engineering (+17.3%; -20.7% over a year), due to the sharp rise in price of heavy fuel oil (+25.3%; - 25.0% year on year).
