My Builder has said that prices of Construction Material ( Cement, Steel, Red-Brick ) have gone high since the date of agreement ( May 2013) to present date.
Can anyone let me know the if the prices have really gone high during last few months, if so by what % ?

Can you provide a link where all the price trends of Construction Material will be shown.

Cement: Zuari 53 grade
Steel: Indus / Meenakshi
Red-brick:

Thanks,
Pradeep

approximately
Cement 3% to 5%
Steel 5%
Labor 15% to 20%
Fabrication workrs are also hiked for 5%
Tiles and ceramic products were gone up to nearly 5%

They have not gone up. In fact steel is now cheaper. For example, Indus Steel was around 48K in May is at 47K today.

Yes. My supplier said there is a price hike of Rs. 6 to 10 per bag. I usually buy Coramendal 53 (325/bag) / PPC (315/bag)
