In Portugal, the cost of new housing construction rose again in June, following the upward trend also observed in other European countries. The largest increases are concentrated in materials and, particularly, in labor, which grew by 7.3%, according to the latest data from the National Institute of Statistics of Portugal (INE) official source.
This scenario is creating increasing challenges for developers and builders, who are forced to deal with less stable budgets and tighter deadlines. Rising prices of materials such as glass or HVAC equipment, combined with higher labor costs, make conventional construction more expensive and harder to predict.
Industrialization as a Strategic Alternative
In light of this reality, industrialized construction is consolidating its role as an efficient and strategic response. By shifting a large part of the process to controlled factory environments, it is possible to:
-
Optimize resources through more standardized processes.
-
Reduce execution times, avoiding delays linked to external factors.
-
Keep costs under control, minimizing the impact of market fluctuations.
In addition, this model provides greater economic stability, enabling developers and end clients to rely on more accurate forecasts and achieve higher-quality projects in less time.
A Commitment to the Future of the Industry
While official indicators confirm that costs will continue to rise, industrialized construction is emerging as one of the most solid solutions for the sector. Its ability to improve efficiency, ensure quality, and guarantee more stable prices makes it a key ally in the face of current uncertainty.
At Industrial Recense, we continue to drive this transformation, convinced that the future of construction lies in more sustainable, technological, and efficient models, capable of meeting the real needs of the market.
