This year's "gold nine silver ten", the country's general decoration building materials market in addition to the conventional labor costs rose, many raw materials also had a larger increase. Owners who want to decorate in the near future may want to prepare more budget. But if you plan to wait until 2018, the renovations could cost even more.
Take Shenzhen as an example, in 2017 home improvement building materials labor, raw material prices and freight increased significantly, and this round of price increases are much larger than before. Although the price of raw materials also changed last year, but the increase was less than 5 percent, but this year the increase is as high as 20 percent, and some items even more than doubled, such as the price of gypsum board from 15 yuan to 30 yuan per piece.
In addition to raw materials, labor costs and freight rose by nearly 20%, the workers' wages from the original 300 yuan per day, increased to 400 yuan ~500 yuan per day, many jobs also appear gap, construction workers for demand.
The price rise of raw materials is the main reason for the price rise of building materials. Recently, the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei provinces and cities jointly issued the 2017-2018 Autumn and winter Air pollution Control action Plan for the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and its surrounding areas. According to the plan, from October 2017 to March 2018, the average PM2.5 concentration in "2+26" cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei air pollution transmission channel will be reduced by more than 15 percent year-on-year, and the number of days with heavy pollution will be reduced by more than 15 percent year-on-year. The steel and non-ferrous cement industry has suspended production across the board, and all cement building materials have been suspended. During the heating season, Tangshan and other cities are limited to 50 percent of steel production, and electrolytic aluminum and alumina companies are limited to more than 30 percent of production.
A furniture company in Shandong raw material buyer said in an interview: "With the intensified environmental protection, raw material prices, three months ago quoted prices, now at least 12% higher, in order to ensure a loss. The impact of the price difference between suppliers and dealers in the phase of purchase and shipment, manufacturers have a single also dare not pick up. It is difficult to find new substitutes for the original suitable raw materials, and it is difficult to deliver the products on time for the orders already taken." Similarly, raw material prices in Hebei, Guangxi and other regions are rising. In front of the hot market and soaring data, some insiders worry about the coming New Year market: the contradiction between the supply and demand of raw materials and products may cause new shortages in 2018.
In order to cope with the rising cost of raw materials, artificial price pressure, some decoration companies have been in the range of consumers can accept, a small price increase, most decoration companies are also marked with price increases.
In 2018, the cost of consumer decoration will rise by about 15%. If the budget is 200,000 yuan, the decoration in 2018 will cost 30,000 yuan more than that in 2017. Huanai Home Furnishing has been operating in the field of home circulation for more than 24 years, and has an accurate judgment of the changes in the market. Its insiders remind that: "For consumers with decoration plans, take advantage of the last time in 2017 to seize the last time to save money in decoration, so as to avoid the loss of tens of thousands of yuan due to the price rise in 2018."
