The real reason for the rise in prices for building materials in 2021. When will it end and how is it cheaper to build a house

Those who are constantly engaged in construction, repairs noticed that prices for building materials have skyrocketed. This is especially noticeable on wood and metal. It is also noticeable on the cost of fittings, pipes, etc.

Such an increase is taking place not only in Russia, but in the world as a whole. The cost of individual goods remained practically unchanged. For example, on the wallpaper.

As a rule, in January, the lowest price is, by May, building materials usually rise in price. It all depends on demand. In winter, the demand is lowest, so the price drops slightly. Therefore, economical builders and those who are engaged in repairs buy building materials in the winter.

In the past year, all over the world, people have been fighting (and still continue) with the pandemic. Everyone sat at home, being careful.

I've looked closely at my own home before. I don't want to live in the "stone jungle" anymore. Suburban life began to attract more and more people. It was on your site, in spite of the pandemic, that you could go out, cook a barbecue, and relax in the fresh air. Apartment owners were deprived of this privilege. I had to sit within 4 walls, watch TV or work at a computer.

Many at that time thought about building a house, a summer residence. This happened not only in our country. There is no need to think that everything is bad with us. There is such a rush for construction all over the world.

There is also a huge demand for suburban construction in Europe. Moreover, metal and wood from Russia is sent abroad. Deliveries have increased, at the same time prices have risen. And many have realized and thought so. Why sell a board in Russia for $ 10,000? rub. per m3, when you can sell to Europe for 200 euros per m3.

There is a great demand in Europe now, so it is more profitable to bring building materials there than to sell them from us. In addition, China also continues to purchase large volumes of building materials from Russia.

When will it end?

The decline in prices will occur when Europe and China are saturated and stop buying such volumes. Many experienced builders say the price of building materials will continue to rise for a long time to come. They say that the board will rise by 1,000 rubles. in Week.

It is predicted that many will switch to building a house from other, cheaper materials: aerated concrete, foam concrete.

Such materials have only slightly increased in price. Instead of metal tiles (it has risen in price by 90%), they will use a soft roof with a solid base of OSB or plywood. But the cheapest and best will be cement-sand tiles. But you need to consider its weight before designing a house.
