North Rhine-Westphalia: Construction prices are rising sharply

Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - If you want to build a house, you have to dig much deeper into your pocket. The construction prices for residential buildings were 14.2 percent higher last November than in November 2021, as the state statistics office IT.NRW announced on Wednesday in Düsseldorf. One reason is the higher cost of building materials. If you compare the price index with August 2022, construction has become more expensive by 1.5 percent within three months.
