The cost of housing construction in Ukraine significantly increased in 2025. According to leading Ukrainian developers, the increase ranges from 10% to 25% depending on the class of residential real estate, with an average increase of 18%. The main reasons for the price hike include rising costs of building materials, logistics expenses, and increased wages in the industry.

Increase in Prices for Materials and Labor
According to information from City One Development, since the beginning of the year, prices for key construction materials have shown moderate growth—averaging around 10%. Specifically, concrete has risen by 6%, metal by more than 2%, cement by over 10%, plaster by over 13%, and brick prices have increased by more than 9%.
Alliance Novobud notes that waterproofing materials have become 7-10% more expensive, and cable products have increased by 10-15%. Significant price increases are observed in the insulation and reinforced concrete products segment—up to 25%, PVC windows—almost 20%, and heating radiators—by 23.5%. At the same time, the increase in costs has affected nearly all types of construction and installation work: since the beginning of the year, prices have risen by 15-25%. The largest increases have been seen in engineering systems and finishing materials, as well as products dependent on imports, energy costs of production, or logistics.
“Ukrainian manufacturers are forced to raise prices on their products due to relocations, suspensions, and production restrictions.”
Preparation of a New Pricing System
The government is currently working on implementing a new pricing system in the construction sector. The goal is to ensure transparency and accessibility of prices for all market participants, improve the efficiency of fund utilization, and build trust in the post-war reconstruction processes. The relevant ministry has created a Working Group to improve the pricing system in construction, which analyzes approaches to determining the cost of projects, studies prices for materials, administrative and production costs, profitability levels, wages, and engineering services. Initial proposals for the updated mechanism are expected by the end of 2025.
