Material indices for timber, concrete and steel

The material indices for timber, concrete and steel are available in a separate table . These are materials with a low degree of processing and therefore sensitive to fluctuation in the prices of raw materials. The representative goods and their mutual weights are taken from the construction cost index for residential building. Together, these groups of materials have a weight of 13 per cent in the total material cost index for residential buildings.
