This study investigates the prices trend of some selected common building and construction materials on the construction market in Ghana.

It was further found that other materials such as coarse aggregates, ordinary Portland cement, concrete kerbs and high-tensile steel rods had a consistent increase in prices along the study period. The study concludes that there is general increase prices trend of the selected building and construction materials on the construction market in Ghana. It is recom mended for government and the legislature to take the necessary measures and enact laws to control the factors that contribute to the increasing prices of building and construc tion materials.
