Davis Langdon’s cost indices track movements in the input costs of
construction work in various sectors, incorporating national wage
agreements and changes in materials prices as measured by the Office
for National Statistics index series.

They provide an underlying indication of price changes and
differential movements in the various work sectors but do not reflect
changes in market conditions affecting profit and overheads
provisions, site wage rates, bonuses or any discounts or premiums in
materials price.

Market conditions are recorded in Davis Langdon’s quarterly Market
Forecast (last published in Building on 31 October).
