SINAPI rose 0.30% in September, 0.14 percentage point below August; the national construction cost reached R$1,999.73 per square metre. The index was up 6.81% over 12 months, compared with 7.03% in the preceding 12-month period.
The monthly reading comes from SINAPI, which tracks housing construction costs and input costs for infrastructure and basic sanitation projects. Its price and cost series are used to help update expenses in contracts and budgets.
The system is produced jointly by IBGE and Caixa Econômica Federal: IBGE collects, checks and calculates prices, while Caixa maintains the engineering specifications. The survey is monthly and covers Brazil, its major regions and states.
