    Micro-data access

    Basis material is stored in a register. The system for calculating the indices is constructed so that it is possible to produce special indices. The basis in the system is the BC/SfB-Building Board, and within the framework of this Board there are vast opportunities of constructing special customised indices: Examples are:

    • Index for a specific building part
    • Index for one of the three buildings
    • Index for other kinds of buildings, i.e. office buildings and universities

    Other

    The Construction Cost Index for Residential Buildings is transmitted to Eurostat on a quarterly basis in accordance with EU Council regulations (EC) 1165/98 of May 19th. 1998, and 588/2001 of May 26th, 2001. Subsequently, there have been various regulations that have further introduced new aspects, which are now being merged and replaced by Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019.
