Volatilität in der Kostenschätzung und Materialpreisinflation
Definition
Construction material prices increased sharply (documented: prices ~33% higher than late 2021). Input cost inflation reached three-month highs in 2024–2025. Manual bid preparation using static pricing sheets or outdated supplier quotes results in underbids or inflated estimates that lose tenders. Subcontractor charges accelerated in 2024–2025, compounding the problem.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €2–5M annually per mid-sized firm (~€50M revenue) or 3–8% of average bid value; 20–40 hours/month manual re-estimation per bid team
- Frequency: Continuous; material price volatility ongoing as of Jan 2025
- Root Cause: Decoupled pricing data in bid systems; manual updates lag market reality; no automated cost indexing tied to official Baupreisindex or supplier feeds
