From the Figure 6.3, it is seen that cost components steel and
cement alone contribute to about 36.5% of overall cost of the project. Labour
components was about 22% and component of brick, sand, coarse aggregates
and timber contribute about 11.5% of overall cost of the project. The cost
components of construction of building in New Delhi is presented in
Figure 6.4.

The six years price data (2003 - 2009) of major materials (cement,
steel, brick, sand and stone aggregate) were collected from Larson and
Toubro Limited and Builders Association of India. The collected data were
analysed in detail, analysis includes month-wise trend in increase in price of
materials and monthly percentage change in price of material over the period
of time.

Year
The CPWD cost indices for 50 year datas were used for modelling
escalation factor for building construction projects in India to measure the
average cost construction escalation in India. The escalation factor is the rate
of change of the Building Cost Index (BCI) from year to year can be
calculated from the following Equation (Touran et al 2006).
I
i i 1 100 % (6.1)
I i1

where r =average rate of change; Ie and Ib=index values in the ending period;
and the beginning period, respectively; and n=number of periods between e
and b.
From the above formula, the average value of escalation factor for
the period of 1958–2008 was computed as 4.22 % per year.

Figure 6.21 Forecasted sand price for 12 months (June’2009 to May-2010)
6.5 SUMMARY
From the study, it is found that there was a drastic fluctuation in the
prices of key construction materials of cement, steel, brick, sand and coarse
aggregates. Contractors working under these circumstances, find that
estimating, bidding and executing the construction projects are challenges.
Many contractors face significant losses due to fixed price construction
contracts. Hence, it is recommended that escalation may be paid for key
construction materials like cement, steel, brick, sand and coarse aggregates
based on actual procurement prices.
high inflation was witnessed for the construction industry in India. During
1979 – 1984, cumulative percent of change of building construction cost for
the India was 236% with an average of 39.3% per year. During 1988 – 1991,
cumulative percent of change of cost index was 201% with an average of
50.25% per year. The average building construction cost escalation for the
last 50 years (1958 to 2008) in India was computed as 4.22 % per year. The
building construction cost indices and also the building material prices have
been forecasted for five years and twelve months respectively using the
software “Forecast X”. The lessons from this analysis would be of substantial
use for planning engineer and construction manager working in the
construction industry. They can make use of these findings to minimize the
cost escalation.
