The 2023 data indicates significant disparity in labour costs per employee FTE in the European construction services sector. Norway leads with the highest cost at 78.4 thousand euros, with Switzerland and Denmark following closely. In contrast, Central and Eastern European countries, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia, record costs below 10 thousand euros. Western European countries like the UK and Italy are somewhere in the middle, highlighting the variation based on economic maturity and cost of living.
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include potential cost increases driven by inflation, skill shortages, and differing growth rates in the construction sector. Additionally, evolving regulations and sustainability requirements may impact labour costs in the coming years, particularly in the higher-cost countries.
