These results are monthly estimated by IBGE through a partnership with CAIXA – Caixa Econômica Federal, based on SINAPI – National System of Survey of Cost and Index of Civil Construction.
SINAPI, created in 1969, has the purpose of producing information on costs and indexes in a systematic way and with a national coverage, in order to elaborate and evaluate budgets as well as monitor costs. |
In 2002, the National Congress approved, by means of the Budgetary Directives Law (LDO), the adoption of SINAPI as the reference for the definition of costs in public construction.
