Materials
In May 2015, prices of materials for construction of buildings were stable (+0.0%), the increase in the price of ribbed bars in steel (+2.2%) being offset by the fall in the price of hollow bricks and blocks (–1.1%). In civil engineering, the prices of materials increased significantly (+1.2% after +0.2%), due to the rise of the price of bitumen (+5.0% in May after –0.1% in April; –31.8% over a year).

Energy
In May 2015, energy cost increased in construction of buildings (+2.1% after –0.3%; –5.6% over a year), impacted by the upwards of gas oil prices. It increased more slowly in civil engineering (+1.3% after +2.0%; –6.9% over a year), due to the withdrawal of heavy fuel oil prices.
