The latest report from Statistics Poland (GUS) shows that prices for construction and assembly works in Poland saw a modest overall increase in January 2025 compared to the previous month. According to the study, the index of construction and assembly production prices rose by 0.1%, marking continued inflationary pressure in the construction sector. Across all major categories of construction activity, prices recorded slight increases. Building construction costs went up by 0.1%, civil engineering projects (including infrastructure works) rose by 0.2%, and prices for specialised construction work also increased by 0.1%. The report highlights specific growth in prices for a range of construction and assembly works. Notable increases were observed in the installation of heating and mechanical systems (+0.4%), mechanised earthworks (+0.3%), masonry structures (+0.2%), and sewage installations (+0.2%). Prices for water supply network installations also rose slightly (+0.1%). In terms of buildings, construction costs for multi-family residential buildings (IV and V storeys), collective housing, retail pavilions, production halls, and medium-voltage cable lines also experienced small increases, typically between 0.1% and 0.2%. Among infrastructure projects, expressways saw a price rise of 0.3%, while highway construction rose by 0.2%. Urban roads and access streets remained mostly stable, with some slight variation across categories. Bridge construction also recorded modest price increases. Projects involving reinforced concrete viaducts and bridges built with monolithic techniques rose by up to 0.2%, while the cost of bridges using prefabricated elements increased by 0.1%. The report, conducted by the Trade and Services Department of Statistics Poland, collects data from selected construction companies nationwide and serves both informational and practical purposes. The indices provided are used in project cost estimations, contract valuations, and investment planning by both public and private sector entities. The January 2025 update confirms ongoing cost pressure in Poland’s construction industry, although at a moderate pace. It reflects both steady demand for construction services and adjustments linked to labour and materials pricing.
