Taiwan has very limited natural resources and must rely on imports. However, the import of natural resources is hard to control due to international inflation and Taiwan’s international political situation. The price of international resources directly and indirectly affects the prices of the main construction materials in the domestic construction industry. This study carried out a research between two important construction materials including steel bars and cement, through the Construction Cost Index published by the Executive Yuan. This research also analyzed the impact of the Construction Cost Index on the above building material prices over years, and discussed a forecasting model to explore the issues and solutions according to the "Guidelines for the Price Adjustment of Domestic Construction Price Changes by the committee of the central government" by Engineering Committee, Executive Yuan.
