Índice de Custos de Construção de Habitação Nova
The index of construction costs for new housing. INE calculates it every month, and it shows not the price of a finished flat but what the building work itself costs, with materials and labour shown separately. It is published as an estimate (estimativa) for the month and compared with the same month of the previous year.
Where you come across it. News about construction and house prices, contractors' quotes, building contracts with price review clauses.
It is an average for the whole country and the whole sector: your own quote may rise by more or by less. If a building contract includes a price review, check exactly which index it is tied to — ICCHN is not the only one.
