Prices of Construction Materials

Any form of home improvement sucks the life out of a wallet. Hope you can get it done soon.

It is usually costly to make an improvement in the house. You better write down first what you need and calculate how much money you need to buy the materials.

there's been a lot of "construction" here due to the sidewalk ban. one carinderia had to move back their stall twice so it's much smaller now. one house had to remove their outer gate. one vegetable seller and one shoes and bag repair shop might have to move elsewhere. i feel bad for them.

Prices have really increase since 2011 when we had built our commercial space. Now, building a cement roof would probably take more than 200k, something we don't have.

Yes...any rennovation always leaves a big hole in the pocket. So it is always better to be prepared from the beginning

There should always be a plan to do that so that the project would be completed.

The most important thing is not to rush, personally what I do is gather all the materials first according to the plan, that's the first phase. The second phase is the actual construction, you see there is a time gap enough while I make more money, I also do the things that I can do myaelf to minimize labor cost Lastly I see to it that I have backup funds because unexpected expenditures are sure to prop up once it starts. Good luck to you.

I hope it all works out for you.
