Foundations carry structures and anchor them in the ground, and they are built on every construction project – perimeter insulation, waterproofing and drainage consist largely of plastics whose prices are a substantial cost driver.

Companies that rely on pricenxt




With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.
Foundations are built in large numbers; price movements in EPS, PE and PVC for insulation, waterproofing and drainage feed straight through to construction costs.
High material input: perimeter insulation, waterproofing membranes and drainage pipes are required in quantity on every foundation – even small price differences add up.
Several competing materials: EPS, PE and PVC are used according to requirement – their prices develop in different directions.
A reliable basis for calculation: current price data makes tenders and construction budgets more robust.



From procurement to site management: pricenxt supports key decisions along the entire value chain.
Tracks price trends for the plastics used, benchmarks the company’s own price level against the market and prepares supplier negotiations on a sound basis.
Assesses material alternatives and specifications in terms of cost and calculates the effect of price movements on tenders and variation orders.
Keeps the material cost base in view, identifies cost risks at an early stage and bases project decisions on dependable market data.
