Recently, the 10-50% increase in furniture, building materials, etc. has started to make many families who intend to renovate their houses complain about it. Yesterday, I visited the Changsha Road Building Materials Market and discovered that in the past half a month, cement, paint, wood and other building materials have risen to a large extent, and many raw material prices have almost doubled. The author calculated an account: Compared with the first half, the same renovation of a house, the cost of more than a thousand dollars, as much as tens of millions!

Cement sand timber up to 50%

On November 24, 2010, the writer saw in the building materials market in Changsha Road that there was a continuous stream of people and decoration workers coming to pick up the goods. When asked about the price, there was one of the most popular buzzwords in their answer: “It has gone up.” Wang Jixing, head of Jixing Jialejia Decoration Co., Ltd., told the writer that sand, cement, and ceramic tiles are all better than January. A lot has gone up. "A 100-square-meter house was installed and it was nearly 10,000 more than it was a year ago." He said that a bag of cement sold for 15 yuan a few days ago. In the past few days, it sold 23 yuan per bag. One price per day."

According to the owner of a hardware store on Luoyang Road in Sifang District, compared with the same period of last year, the prices of materials in the building materials industry have already risen to varying degrees, with the overall increase in the price of wood exceeding 10%. Prices of materials in a number of construction materials industries, including ceramics, wood, coatings, and hardware industries, have risen by 10%-20%, and sand has risen from 70 yuan per cubic meter to 100 yuan, up by about 40%, while rising prices. The fastest cement is the increase of 50%.

More than six months late decoration 30,000

“A 100-square-meter house with 3 cubic meters of sand will cost you 100 yuan more. Not to mention the furniture, the furniture will rise even more.” Mr. Han, who recently renovated the house in the northern part of the city, experienced first-hand the price rise of building materials. The “tough experience” brought about by the same decoration company, the same furniture store, because the time is half a year late, he actually had a total of 30,000 yuan more than his neighbors! Not only the prices of raw materials such as paint, cement, and wood have risen, but downstream products such as furniture have also risen more than 30%.
