In recent years, the prices of materials used in the construction industry have increased.
The corona pandemic, fuel prices, the turbulent world situation and the war in Ukraine were cited as reasons.
And this is noticeable - for private consumers, actors who build apartment buildings, for construction companies and also in some of the county's municipalities on their redevelopment and new construction projects.
Among the examples are Surahammar where it is perceived that the quotes that come in have become about 5-10 percent more expensive and Hallstahammar, as SVT previously reported about, which has had to shell out more money when the new Näslund School is to be built.
In Köping, the price tag for adapting Scheeleskolan to accessibility has gone from just under SEK 3.5 million to just over SEK 4.2 million.
In the video, SVT visits the school and meets the municipality's acting property manager.
