Introduction: In recent years, Australia has witnessed significant fluctuations in construction costs, largely due to factors such as supply chain disruptions, labour shortages, and economic uncertainties. This blog explores the changes in building materials costs over the last two years and how these trends are affecting tiling prices.

Recent Trends in Building Costs: In 2022, the construction industry faced an unprecedented increase in costs, with CoreLogic’s Cordell Construction Cost Index (CCCI) reporting a record annual growth of 11.9%. This was a significant jump compared to the previous year. However, the first quarter of 2023 showed signs of easing, with a growth rate of only 0.9%, the lowest since March 2021.

Impact on Tiling Prices: The fluctuating cost of materials such as timber, metal, and concrete directly influences the pricing of tiling projects. High inflation levels and volatile pricing due to restricted domestic supply chains have contributed to increased tiling prices. However, with the recent slowdown in construction cost increases, there might be a potential for stabilization in tiling prices as well.
