What is the cost of construction per square meter in Turkey 2024?

 

The cost of construction per square meter in Turkey varies from one project to another depending on several factors, as each building has its own characteristics and conditions.

The total expenses spent on the project differ according to the price of the land, the cost of the building materials used, the number of floors, the location of the land on which the project is built, and the engineering designs used. The more modern the design, the more it requires skilled engineers and the use of high-cost materials such as arches and marble and glass facades, which increases its costs and raises the cost of its building materials and other factors that we will address in this article.

All these costs are collected together to obtain the total cost of building the project and then divided by the number of construction meters of the project to obtain the average cost of one square meter of construction. For example, the minimum cost of one square meter of luxury construction for the reinforced concrete structure of residential buildings was 6378 lira, the average cost was 6768 lira, and the maximum was 7158 lira per square meter.

 

Reasons for the increase in the price of construction in Turkey

أسباب إرتفاع سعر البناء في تركيا

Today, the reasons for the increase in the cost of construction are due to the increase in the prices of building materials and the increase in the prices of land due to the high demand for carrying out construction projects. Turkey is witnessing today a construction boom and a great demand from contracting companies to invest on its lands.

 

The cost of the land on which the building is built

The land is the most important and influential element in determining the value of construction costs in Turkey, and this value changes according to the distance of the land from the city center, the availability of infrastructure such as road networks, and its proximity to service and entertainment facilities.

Usually, the prices of land in major cities are higher than others, such as Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir.

The more features the land enjoys, the higher its price and thus the higher the price of construction.

 

The price of construction per square meter in Turkey

The increase in the price of construction per square meter is the second main reason that reflects on the total cost of construction, leading to its increase.

The cost of construction per square meter in Turkey differs according to the type of building materials, as buildings are divided according to the type of building material used into buildings with a steel structure and buildings with reinforced concrete.

The use of building materials necessary to construct buildings with steel structures is the highest in terms of building materials.

The price of construction per square meter is also affected by the type of property, residential or commercial, and it increases in the commercial property over its cost in the residential property.

In addition to the difference in the cost of construction per square meter according to the difference in the city and what it offers in terms of services and advanced infrastructure and its importance compared to other cities.

For example, the price of construction per square meter in Istanbul is relatively high compared to other smaller cities, as Istanbul enjoys a distinctive investment value globally, in addition to its distinguished location as the economic capital of the country, a business center, and one of the most attractive cities for tourists in Turkey.

 

Prices of building materials

The size of the project and its area play a role in determining the amount of building materials used, as the larger the property and the number of rooms, the more additional costs appear on things such as tiles, electrical connections, plumbing, etc. In addition to the designs used and their modernity, the cost will definitely be lower if the engineering designs used are simple.

The prices of building materials increased in the past period by 62.25% and the increase rate reached 80% in the price of construction iron, which affected the cost of construction per square meter.

To obtain accurate calculations of the cost of construction, it is necessary to deal with contracting companies and professional engineers who can provide detailed calculations of the cost of construction per square meter before starting work.
