The National Index of Civil Construction (SINAPI), released today (11) by the IBGE, increased by 0.51% in January. The rate is 0.30 percentage points (p.p.) above the rate of December (0.21%) and 0.32 p.p. above the rate of January 2024 (0.19%). The cumulative index in 12 months reached 4.31%, a result above the 3.98% of the immediately previous 12 months.
The national cost by square meter, which closed December at R$ 1,790.66, reached R$ 1,799.82 in January, being R$ 1,036.80 relative to materials, and R$ 763.02 to workforce.
“Materials recorded a change of 0.18%, and the year started with a drop from december in the preceding year. Against the index in January 2024, there was an increase of 0.04 percentage points,” Augusto Oliveira, manager of the survey, explained.
Workforce, with a rate of 0.97% in January 2025, increased from December, as against the same month a year ago. “This change resulted from the price adjustment of the national minimum wage, implemented in January, and the application of collective agreements in three states,” Oliveira added.
