Material prices and construction costs
Glossary of links to access construction cost bank bases to carry out our projects (new construction - rehabilitation) or once the energy certificate or the drafting of the relevant energy audits have been completed to qualify for the material prices and up-to-date workmanship.
An important point for our client would be to offer him a coherent budget for the execution of these measures, where we must know the approximate-real construction costs of the proposed rehabilitation or the new work.
Construction prices
We have tried to combine a series of places on the internet - free - with a price consultation base to be able to show our future clients an estimated budget.
And we begin to see how much a work costs …
1.- Consult from the IVE
From IVE (Valencian Building Institute) we can find one of the construction databases more complete of the network that is divided into two sections:
To calculate the Unit Cost of Residential Building Execution in the budget for kitchen and bathroom renovations, as well as the evolution of the prices of materials and labor. There is a special section for consultation from HERE.
And the free construction price base where we will find information on labor or unit prices of all materials, items and even for rehabilitation. We can also search by Autonomous Communities for Spain. Check with the viewer from HERE.
Has labor prices updated for each year, which is an important and useful topic for reform or new construction.
In addition, we have two articles specifically explained construction prices about:
- Execution costs of urban actions
- How to calculate a bathroom renovation budget (End of article)
2.- Queries from the CYPE Construction Price Generator
From the Generadordeprecios website belonging to CYPE INGENIEROS, it has an exceptional price base - All of Spain - by towns with all possible breakdowns.
It includes even small populations. A construction price generator very interesting. You have to register from HERE.
3.- From Construmática
From the Construmatica website you can access a price base «Prices and Technical Specifications of the BEDEC ITeC Bank». A price base for works and fairly extensive materials that is up to date. To consult from HERE.
4.- From Preoc
Other construction price generator it is from Preoc with price bases; Unitary, auxiliary and decomposed. They are only for consultation since they are part of a measurement program.
In a simple way we can see the construction unit prices and a brief explanation.
5.- App for construction and works prices
Of course, calculating a work price is also in mobile app format. Although many are Free - Premium, you can still get good results for free and easy. We recommend two for their simplicity and usability:
- ConstruCalc App from HERE. To estimate expenses when building or renovating and mounting budgets quickly. Estimate with greater precision the construction materials and their respective quantities that will be used in your work.
- Construction Materials Calculator App from HERE. An application of work unit prices with tools that allow you to view, create, edit and share work or reform estimates whenever and wherever you want.
We remind you that there is a very interesting architecture app to measure from HERE that we also include other tools of interest.
It must be taken into account that on the Internet we can find other similar tools to generate work prices and in the architecture sector, but an important point is that each year they must be updated, and those indicated above are constantly updated. (Even those of the IVE we can see valuations of previous years, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2022, 2022, 2022)
