Prepare sleighs in summer and winter Materials. It is better to buy in advance, and why?

For me, the issue of the purchase of building materials is a separate process, to which you want to focus on.

Still, When building the house itselfTrying to save the maximum, on which you can play a role is still a very important issue.

When to buy building materials?

Generally, prior to construction, I never thought about it.

But the practice is shown, as is. When I last year, only developed land and I am making foundation cushionOf course at the same time counting their money, then a couple of months the price of bulk materials (sand, gravel), we have in me twice, of course in a big way.

I do this so well understood, but are convinced exactly what sellers during the construction season, steep prices as they wish. And all because the buyer has nowhere to go and it still will buy, when the construction process is already running.

Also, at the end of 2017 has already been determined that I will build of aerated concreteI watched him prices. And then the price was from 3200 to 3500 rubles per m. Cube. And since last summer and the beginning of winter 4200 rubles cheaper, I have not found.

Now I have decided to do, taking into account their experience.

Especially with regard to large volume purchases, it is better to think in advance.

So I have a couple of weeks ago bought aerated concrete (as I chose can read here). And also, these days should make the sand and gravel.

With money, everything is clear, certainly in the beginning of the summer prices will rise at all. But there is another benefit of buying materials in the winter.

Bad roads.

Of course this does not affect all people, but to me, This question is in parallel with the entire construction.On all stages of the development of the site and to the pouring of concrete, I was always worried about how will drive heavy equipment on our narrow roads and poor horticulture.

Especially in spring, when everything melts, it could be a real problem.

And in the winter, of course shelled on the road, every car will pass quietly.

Shipping costs.

Relatively recently, I learned that in Russia every spring imposes restrictions on travel bolshegruzov. It is for the safety of roads during thaw, are allowed to carry cargo up to a certain weight (do not know who is interested can find information).

Accordingly, carriers have to reduce the amount of load at a time, and do more flights. Or rely on the fact that you have to pay fines.

In both cases, we pay for all this we are, by increasing the cost of delivery.

But everything can not be bought in advance.

Of course, if it were possible, I would have bought all at once. But it is certainly not possibleAnd because of the availability of money, and because of the impossibility of storing the whole, and because he can do to change everything.

And with the basic building materials of course you need to solve the problem as soon as possible. I hope my article will help anyone in this matter.
