Polymer price data for foundations

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.

pricenxt in the foundations sector

With pricenxt Analytics, teams capture price developments faster, compare price series, and build up their own structured market monitoring.

Why polymer prices matter for foundations:

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.
