Questions
Scope of this index.
How much has office construction cost changed in British Columbia?
The index stood at 109.8 in Q2 2026 against 2023 = 100: +0.3% over one year, +29.8% over five. The series for British Columbia begins in Q1 2017, so a ten-year change is not available.
Is this a cost per square foot?
No. It is a price index for a fixed model office building. It measures how much prices moved, not what any project costs.

Boundary: This is a price index for a fixed model building, not a dollar figure, not a cost per square foot and not a construction quote. An index of 111 means prices 11% above the base period for that model building, not that a particular project will cost that much more. Divisions are published from Q1 2017 only.
