Development of prices in the civil engineering – analysis of the situation

Abstract

The market in the construction industry is currently so unstable that no one can even estimate its development. The increase in the prices of building materials in current values was an absolutely unexpected event. In addition to materials, the prices of labor, fuel, overheads and other components of the formula also increased. The price development index has become an unpredictable event that fundamentally affects the construction market. Both contractors and investors have become more cautious and cautious. contracts begin with indexation clauses. Competent organizations reacted with distance and issued methodological guidelines for the public sector. The published methodologies in the field of honey reflect the market, but they are not covered by the overall increase or inflation. Methods of determining price changes were the subject of earlier authors who dealt with this issue. One of them is the use of directional orientation tools published in available databases. The article approximates the predictability of prices, methods of determining the growth of construction prices and evaluates the currently valid methodology for the public sector.
