How much it costs to build a house in Spain? Here you have atemplate budget.
↑ Ratio between the average housing price and the average construction cost: if the ratio is (x), it means houses are being sold (x) times the price of production.
A higher ratio means the construction sector has higher profit margins. Note that a significant part of these profit margins are in fact tax payments.
↑ Cost of production (in %): year over year evolution of construction costs.
↑ Ratio of workers per housing unit built: The great shift is due to a change in the core business. New builds are no longer the core business, restorations are.
↑ Number of workers employed in construction per 100 inhabitants, Spain.
