Indices of construction costs - wages and material prices

This dataset contains the indices of UK hourly Construction Wage Costs (quarterly; not seasonally adjusted; 2000 = 100) and UK Construction Material Prices for New Housing, Other New Work, Repair and Maintenance, and All Work (monthly; 2010 = 100).

*Construction Material Prices*

The construction market intelligence (CMI) unit publication, ‘Monthly statistics of building materials and components’, presents the latest detailed information on selected building materials and contains monthly data on price indices, bricks, cement and concrete blocks. It also contains quarterly data on sand and gravel, slate, concrete roofing tiles, ready-mixed concrete and imports and exports of construction products.

Data are derived from a Department for Business, Innovation & Skills monthly [Building Materials and Components](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/building-materials-and-components-monthly-statistics-2012) statistical release.

*Construction Wage Costs*

The Index of Labour Costs per Hour (ILCH) is a measure of the cost of having an employee for an hour of work. It represents the total cost of employing an individual, which is primarily the earnings of the employee, but also includes non-wage costs. It is also known as the Labour Cost Index (LCI); the index is produced by all member countries of the EU and collated by Eurostat.

Data are derived from ONS data releases found [here](http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20160105160709/http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm%3A77-397390).

*建筑材料价格*
建筑市场情报（CMI）单元出版物《建筑材料及组件月度统计》展示了选定建筑材料的最新详细信息，包括价格指数、砖、水泥及混凝土砌块等材料的月度数据。同时，还包括沙石、板岩、混凝土屋面瓦、预拌混凝土以及建筑产品进出口的季度数据。

*建筑工资成本*
每小时劳动力成本指数（ILCH）是衡量雇佣员工一小时工作成本的标准。它代表了雇佣个人的总成本，主要是员工的薪酬，但也包括非工资成本。该指数亦称为劳动力成本指数（LCI）；该指数由欧盟所有成员国产生，并由欧盟统计局汇总。
