“This variation reflects, among other factors, the reduction of payroll taxes for companies in the civil construction sector,” explains IBGE.
What Factors Influence This Increase?
The high cost of building in Acre is linked to a series of factors that go beyond inflation:
- High Demand for Properties: the growing demand for housing heats up the market;
- Material Prices: items like cement, steel, and wood continue to rise;
- Labor Costs: specialized professionals have higher salaries;
- Local Infrastructure: areas with limited access increase transportation costs for materials;
- Real Estate Speculation: valued land raises the final construction price;
- State Taxes and Duties: also weigh on the project budget.
Comparison with Other States
With the recorded increase, Acre has even surpassed traditionally more expensive states. Santa Catarina ranks second, with R$ 2,057.33 per square meter.
Sergipe, on the other hand, had the lowest cost: R$ 1,607.93.
What to Expect in the Coming Months?
The trend is that construction costs in Acre will remain high, especially if demand continues to be strong and inputs remain expensive.
For those planning to build, it is essential to plan ahead, seek updated quotes, and consider alternatives that help reduce the financial impact.
