The CanaData Construction Cost Index provides third-party and independent cost index statistics for labour and building materials in the Canadian high-rise construction industry on a monthly and yearly basis. It also provides a simple calculating mechanism for price and cost trending. The Cost Index is a particularly useful tool with respect to:
- Escalation agreements;
- Assignment of lot levies;
- Identifying strong regional markets/product shortages;
- Construction project costing;
- Calculating change order costs, and;
- Forecasting future price movements, depending on the stage of the construction cycle.
The Cost Index is available for specific regions: Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, the Prairies, and British Columbia. Each regional Cost Index includes a National Cost Index. In addition, a National Package is offered, which includes all Cost Index reports.
