Riyadh: The General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) has released its Construction Cost Index (CCI) bulletin for August 2025, revealing a 0.7% year-on-year increase in construction costs across the Kingdom. This rise was primarily driven by a 0.8% increase in the residential sector and a 0.6% increase in the non-residential sector.
According to Saudi Press Agency, on a monthly basis, construction costs in the residential sector recorded a slight increase of 0.1% in August 2025 compared to July, while costs in the non-residential sector remained stable with no change over the same period.
The CCI tracks price movements of construction inputs across 51 goods and services, with data collected monthly from various regions of the Kingdom. The year 2023 has been adopted as the base year for calculating the index.
