Construction Materials -- Producer Price Indexes statistics

[1982=100, except as noted. For discussion of producer price index, see text, Section 15, Prices. This index, more formally known as the special commodity grouping index for construction materials, covers materials incorporated as integral part of a building or normally installed during construction and not readily removable. Excludes consumer durables such as kitchen ranges, refrigerators, etc. This index is not the same as the stage-of-processing index of intermediate materials and components for construction]
