According to an analysis of official sources, including data from Rosstat, the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation (Minstroy), as well as reports from “Dom.RF” and the Union of Cost Engineers, construction costs in Russia continue to show significant variation.

Industry data indicates that costs are tracked through indices of estimated cost changes (Minstroy), producer price indices (Rosstat), and housing market value standards. Analysts emphasize that there is no single fixed price, as figures differ depending on the type of property—such as multi-apartment buildings and individual housing construction (IHC)—as well as by region, building materials, and construction methods (including frame, block, and brick structures).

By the end of 2024, construction costs had risen by 4–27% compared to 2023. The increase is attributed to inflation, labor shortages, and a surge in material prices, which climbed by 8–30%. On average, the cost of housing construction stood at 80,000–110,000 rubles per square meter without finishing, while individual housing construction averaged 54,000–77,000 rubles per square meter on a turnkey basis.

The Ministry of Construction’s official standard for the second half of 2024 was set at 109,002 rubles per square meter. The latest data covers the IV quarter of 2024 (with a forecast for 2025: +15–25% for IHC). Always verify local standards (Federal Law-44 for public contracts).

National Cost Overview (2024)

Based on indices from Minstroy, Rosstat, and “Dom.RF”:

Indicator	Average Value (2024)	Annual Change	Notes
Standard Cost per m² of Housing (Minstroy, II Half)	109,002 RUB/m²	+11.7% (vs. I Half)	For social benefits; market average in Q3 — 109,000 RUB/m². Source: Order №390/pr.
Construction Cost of Multi-Apartment Buildings (Mass Segment)	81–157 thousand RUB/m² (April)	+28% (in some regions)	Includes construction and assembly works (CAW); +63% over 3 years (2020–2024). Source: Union of Cost Engineers.
IHC Cost “Warm Shell”	54–57 thousand RUB/m²	+4–27% (by method)	Shell without finishing; average house — 6.1 million RUB for 111 m². Source: “Dom.RF”.
IHC Cost Turnkey	74–77 thousand RUB/m²	+10–20%	With finishing; frame/block methods are popular. Source: “Dom.RF” and “Technonikol”.
Index of Estimated Cost Change for CAW (Minstroy, IV Quarter)	+3–5% (quarterly)	+10–20% (annual)	Based on FER/TER databases; regional letters from Minstroy. Source: Minstroy.

General Notes:

Cost Structure: CAW ~50–60%, materials ~30–40%, equipment/transport ~10%. For multi-apartment buildings — 75% on residential; for IHC — focus on individual projects.
Variations by Type: Traditional (brick/gas concrete) — 80–120 thousand RUB/m²; frame/modular — 40–70 thousand RUB/m². Excludes VAT (20%), land, and connections.
2025 Trend: Expected +15–25% for IHC due to inflation and labor shortages (average age 45). Construction volume — 107 million m² in 2024 (+9% vs. 2023).

Regional Variations (III–IV Quarter 2024)

Costs vary due to wages, logistics, and demand. Data from Minstroy (average market) and Rosstat (indices):

Region	Cost per m² (Housing/Construction)	Annual Change (%)
Moscow	300–400 thousand RUB/m² (market)	+10–15%
St. Petersburg	165–200 thousand RUB/m²	+5–10%
Moscow Region	40–50 thousand RUB/m² (IHC)	+10–20%
Krasnodar Krai	100–150 thousand RUB/m²	+15–20%
Sverdlovsk Oblast	80–120 thousand RUB/m²	+8–12%
Novosibirsk Oblast	70–100 thousand RUB/m²	+10%
Kaliningrad Oblast	90–130 thousand RUB/m²	+28% (maximum)
National Average	81–109 thousand RUB/m²	+4–11.7%
National Standard	109 thousand RUB/m² (normative)	+11.7%

Notes: Higher in the European part due to demand; 20–30% lower in the Far East/Siberia due to subsidies. For IHC in regions — 20–60 thousand RUB/m². Source: Minstroy, Rosstat.

Influential Factors and Recommendations

Inflation and Materials: Rosstat records +8–30% (steel/cement +4–10%, timber +3%). Deflator index — +10–20% annually.
Workforce: Labor shortage (+5–10% wages); average — 25–30 thousand RUB/month.
Ecology/Modular: +10–20% for “green” projects; frame construction is 30% cheaper.
Tips: Use Minstroy/Rosstat calculators for estimates. Add 10–15% for unforeseen expenses. Consult local SROs; for IHC, check Federal Law-214.

Data based on official publications up to October 2025; updates are quarterly. For provinces — Rosstat or Minstroy. If you need a focus on a specific region, please specify.
