Indicative regional areas are shown on the map, with an associated indicative index given for each region. However, the indices are not absolute. Changing suddenly from one region to another adjacent region will not result in a sudden change in construction index. Any change is likely to be more gradual between the two, and the regions become more blurred. The indices are an indicative general guide only and should be used with understanding.

Building prices can be influenced significantly by local conditions, local market conditions, size and specification. The indices given here are intended only as an indicative guide and should be used with caution as prices outside these ranges can be encountered in meeting local conditions and specific client requirements.
