  "account": "In Wiesbaden, the German Statistical Office has reported that construction costs in the country have once again become significantly more expensive. August figures show that the prices for new conventional residential buildings were 5.5 percent above the level from the previous year, according to the Statistisches Bundesamt. This is the fastest rate of price increase since three years ago. Over the three-month period observed, prices increased by 1.0 percent. Dacharbeiten (roof work) saw the most significant year-on-year rise, with an increase of 7.6 percent. Zimmer- und Holzbauarbeiten (room and timber construction work) were 7.2 percent more expensive. Mauer- (wall) and Betonarbeiten (concrete) work were less steeply priced at 4.2 percent and 4.3 percent respectively. The cost of interior renovations is being driven by rising demand for electrical installations and heating systems. The maintenance of residential buildings was 6.0 percent more expensive in August 2025 compared to the same period last year. This above-average price development is not limited to residential buildings; road construction costs were 6.9 percent higher than a year ago, while office buildings were 5.7 percent more expensive.",
