Questions
Scope of this index.
How much has office construction cost changed in Calgary?
The index stood at 111.4 in Q2 2026 against 2023 = 100: +3.4% over one year, +27.2% over five and +37.9% over ten.

No. It is a price index for a fixed model office building. It measures how much prices moved, not what any project costs.
Source: Statistics Canada, table 18-10-0289-01, Building construction price indexes, by type of building and division. Released 2026-07-24. Statistics Canada Open Licence.
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.
