The changes as a result of legislation and regulations, social or sector-related developments can increase costs and / or reduce costs. We will map out these cost developments separately for you and as a result should be included separately on top of the "regular" indices.

BDB Indices

For the indices you can opt for a one-off purchase or a continuous purchase via a subscription. The best solution for you depends on your information needs and your application. If you opt for a one-off purchase, you will receive the required indices once. This option is usually common with one question per year. With a subscription, you will receive the updated figures every month or quarter (depending on the type of indices) for one year. If you want to use the BDB index numbers more often during the year, this form is a very attractive solution.

The BDB indices provide insight into the cost developments of wages, materials and equipment. We make a distinction here between the price development without market forces (structural figures) and the market forces (economic figures). Cyclical developments revolve around structural developments.

• BDB Monthly Figures: structural indices for historical cost price development
• BDB Forecast Figures: structural indices for the expected future cost price development
• BDB Market indicator: cyclical indices for historical Market forces
• BDB Trends: cyclical indices for expected future Market functioning
• BDB Detailed Indexes Bronze: Product groups, element clusters, and STABU chapters. Past to present from January 2021.
• BDB Detailed Indexes Silver: Product groups, element clusters, and STABU chapters. Past, present, and 2-year forecast from January 2021.
• BDB Detailed Indexes Gold: Product groups, element clusters, and STABU chapters. Past, present, and 2-year forecast from January 2021. Including RIM models.

The historical figures are made available from January 2003 (BDB Monthly Figures) and Q1 2003 (BDB Market Indicator). You can take out a subscription for the continuous purchase of BDB indices. We offer four types of subscriptions:

Project information is collected and made available anonymously by BDB as form factors and cost indicators. With access via the BDB Information System, you can consult the form factors and cost indicators at various levels. The historical project data is automatically indexed monthly to the current price level.

In addition, it is possible to use a company-specific part, with which you can build your own project database. You can have your own projects analyzed by BDB and included in the database. You can then benchmark against the most important form factors and cost indicators. These cost indicators are automatically indexed monthly to the current price level. It goes without saying that these project analyzes are confidential and only visible and accessible within your own account. The data will be used anonymously for the preparation of non-project-specific form factors and cost indicators.

BDB Detailed Indexes

Through our Detailed Indexes, you gain insight into cost developments at a detailed level to support settlements, procurement, and negotiations. This provides insight into past and expected wage and price changes for projects. This can be done at any desired level: elements, activities, or product groups. This allows contracting and executing parties to optimize their approach based on the nature, scope, form, construction methodology, materials, and project schedule.

The information is directly applicable with our accessible and user-friendly model. This model also allows for generating strategic analyses for budgeting, tendering, procurement, invoicing, financing, and project monitoring. This is especially useful in times of uncertainty. Parties want to collaborate, but price developments put that collaboration to the test. The Detailed Indexes provide clarity and transparency for both parties.
