About this data
This construction cost data is derived from an annual survey of real estate projects around the UK. The survey gathers data on market conditions, construction input costs such as labour and materials and the average £/sqft for different residential construction types.
About the £/sqft figures
The headline £/sqft figures shown are the average total construction cost per square foot of internal area. The £/sqft includes all labour and material construction costs (including first and second fix) and contractor's margin and preliminaries. They do not include: land purchase costs, utility works, groundworks, site works, client direct costs and professional services fees.
These figures are approximations - the exact £/sqft for any project will depend on the specific site, project details, construction firm used and many other factors.
