Choose “Cost-effective” Building Materials During The Storm

Not only prices of materials such as sand, brick, steel and cement have risen, but labor costs have also increased sharply in recent years, causing many construction companies and people “distorted”.

The contractor and the people cried

Trinh Hoai Linh, Director of Code Architecture and Construction, said that in the first quarter of 2017, steel prices increased 30%, cement prices increased 20%, other materials prices increased from 10-20%, prices workers increase by 20-30%.

“The company contracted 6 works before prices rose. If done without words, cancel the contract will lose prestige, “she said.

Similarly, according to Tran Ngoc Lam, Director of Gia Phu Construction Company in Ho Chi Minh City, although the contract signed in advance calculated the inflation factor, but price fluctuations are higher than estimated.

The construction and repair of school weather data will make the construction of the project and the patient a headache.

However, Lam said that the price of building materials is negotiable, but labor is difficult. In the past, the price of construction workers has also increased, with the price of around VND 180,000 – 230,000 per day, the main workers being VND 250,000-300,000 per day. This is extremely difficult for the contractor, because if they do not accept this price, the workers will move to another place, leading to slow construction progress and can be very heavy penalty from customers due to slow progress.

Not only are investors tired of rising material prices, people are also struggling with plans to build homes.

Mr. Cung lives in District 7, Ho Chi Minh City had to stop planning to build his house even though the house is already degraded. The reason is that the budget has increased too much.

“My house of 60 m2 was calculated at the end of last year with construction cost of about VND 800 million, but up to now, if the construction price has increased to nearly 1.2 billion. With this money, I might not handle it anymore, “he said.

When choosing the right model, people can consult with friends who built the house to see the price and where appropriate building materials.
