Continue Construction Sector<\/a><\/strong> Real estate in Saudi Arabia is on an upward trajectory, having recorded Construction Cost Index<\/a><\/strong> A year-on-year increase of 2.2% was recorded in September 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. Data released by General Authority for Statistics<\/a><\/strong> The general index continued its gradual rise to reach 104 points (or 104.05 points in detail), exceeding the level of 101.8 points (or 101.77 points) recorded in September of the previous year, based on the base year 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authority attributed this increase mainly to a rise Construction costs<\/a><\/strong> For the residential sector, the increase was 2.1%, in addition to the rise in construction costs for the non-residential sector, which was 2.6%. These changes are of exceptional importance given the specialized nature of the index, as the authority defines it as a relative figure that measures the change in construction costs over two time periods for a basket of building materials and construction services, making it an important indicator relied upon by planners and researchers in the fields of development and production in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction cost index began 2026 on a steady upward trajectory, according to official monthly data. In January 2026, the index registered 102.4 points with an annual change of 1.41 TP3T. It continued its slight rise in February, reaching 102.5 points with an annual change of 1.41 TP3T. By March, the index had climbed to 103.2 points with an annual change of 2.01 TP3T, and then continued its upward trend in April, registering 103.7 points with an annual change of 2.41 TP3T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The upward trend continued during May, with the index reaching 103.9 points and an annual change of 2.6%, and in June it reached 104.0 points, recording the highest annual change of the year at 2.7%.

Following that, the index stabilized at 104.0 points during July and August with an annual change rate of 2.3% for each, concluding the last month of September at 104.0 points (or 104.05 points) with an annual change rate of 2.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n

The year-on-year increase in the construction cost index for September 2026 was primarily driven by higher operating and core costs. The equipment and machinery rental category saw the largest increase, jumping to 4.4%, with its index rising from 103.07 points in September 2025 to 107.64 points in September 2026. This category now accounts for 19.0% of the index.

Energy costs came in second with an annual increase of 3.0%, raising its index from 131.02 points to 134.93 points, with a relative weight of 2.5. As for basic materials - which represent the greatest weight and greatest weight in the index at 48.5 - they recorded an increase of 1.7%, as their index rose from 98.96 points in September 2025 to 100.67 points in September 2026.

In addition, labor costs increased by 1.6%, after their index rose from 103.38 points to 105.08 points, with a total weight of 29.9. Thus, the overall index for all departments (weighted at 48.5 according to the distribution of departments) reached 104.05 points compared to 101.77 points in the previous year, with a total change of 2.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n

Continued annual growth in the residential sector <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Comprehensive analysis of construction costs by sector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Construction cost data by sector for September 2026 showed continued year-on-year growth in both the residential and non-residential sectors. The residential sector \u2013 which carries the largest weight at 77.51 TP3T \u2013 recorded growth of 2.11 TP3T compared to September 2025, with its overall sector index rising from 101.83 points to 104.00 points.

This increase was driven by the rise in equipment and machinery rentals, which achieved a jump within the sector by 4.1% (weighted at 14.9%), rising from 103.07 points to 107.25 points, in addition to energy costs (weighted at 2.0%), which rose by 3.0% from 131.02 points to 134.93 points, basic materials (weighted at 37.5%), which rose by 1.7% from 99.06 points to 100.75 points, and labor costs (weighted at 23.0%), which recorded an increase of 1.5%, rising from 103.44 points to 105.03 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the non-residential sector saw a higher growth rate of 2.6% on an annual basis, with a total weight of 22.5%, as its overall sector index rose from 101.54 points in September 2025 to 104.20 points in September 2026.

This rise is attributed to the growths recorded in its overall branches, most notably the rental of equipment and machinery (weight 4.1%), which recorded a record annual growth of 5.8%, rising from 103.08 points to 109.06 points, and energy costs (weight 0.6%), which increased by 3.0%, rising from 131.02 points to 134.93 points, in addition to labor costs (weight 6.9%), which increased by 2.0%, moving its index from 103.18 points to 105.27 points, as well as basic materials (weight 11.0%), which recorded growth of 1.8%, rising from 98.63 points to 100.42 points.

Based on these complete detailed data for the residential and non-residential sectors, the overall index, with its total weight of 100%, settled at 104.05 points for September 2026 compared to 101.77 points for September 2025, achieving an overall change rate of 2.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
