Hello Friends,

How to check the current cost of building materials like cement, steel, etc ?
Is there any website for this?

You can check: http://www.materialtree.com

Prices are very close to what my contractor is quoting me.

Hi Shastri,

If the transaction is purely cash and bulk you can bargain another 0.5 to 1%, Birla cement can be brought @ 360 and Indus steel can be brought @ 50K.

The material contractor charges more because the material is brought on credit.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Venky

Thanks for the input,
Venky, my contractor was mentioning about the credit thing sometimes back. I will check with him.
