First we separate the products. Then we calculate the index.
A converted shipping container, a stand-alone factory-built block and a module for a multi-module shift worker camp are different product classes. We do not combine them in a single price basket.
Three baskets instead of one
Q3 2026 remains the base observation period, but we are not yet publishing an overall index for multi-module systems until we have collected a sufficient sample of genuinely comparable solutions.
Converted shipping container
A 20/40-foot sea or rail ISO container adapted for accommodation, an office, storage or a sanitary room. This is a separate segment and not an equivalent of a factory-built module for a shift worker camp.
Stand-alone factory-built block container
A purpose-made frame-and-panel block for a single room. It may be a quality product, but on its own it does not yet constitute a system for a multi-module building.
Volumetric factory-built module for a multi-module building
A factory-built module designed for repeatable joining into dormitories, admin and welfare blocks, canteens and shift worker camps: geometry, connection details, design loads and building-services interfaces.
How offers from KAZKONT and other suppliers are treated
Items based on 20/40-foot shipping containers belong to class A and are excluded from the index of modules for shift worker camps and multi-module buildings. Stand-alone frame-and-panel blocks are counted in class B until a structural system for multi-module assembly is confirmed.
How the change will be calculated
We record the line item
Size, product name, configuration and source.
We do not change the basket retroactively
A new product is added as a separate series and does not replace the old item.
We compare quarter to quarter
Each product class gets its own base only once a comparable basket has been formed.
We keep the history
Old values and source references remain published.
Why this is more useful than an average price
Even identical 6×2,4 m dimensions do not make products comparable. First we record the product class and scope of supply, then we compare identical line items over time.
