Your worst example of runaway building material prices

[Daniel 109]

Well, that's not really how it works. Prices are adjusted all the time. It's not linked to the purchase price when the tank was filled, it's the market price that sets the price at the pump.

 

[ByggPajken]

Still insanely expensive. This should be illegal.

Still outrageously expensive. This should be illegal

And it's going to get worse, new price increases from the manufacturers

 

[nino]

Got an increase of 4:-/lpm for the "mellanstuken" panel, a few kronor on 34x70 and "råplan" also "mellanstuken," it's compared to autumn -20 prices.

Gyproc raised the price of gypsum by 5.30 per m2 at the turn of the month

Still insanely expensive. This should be illegal

How do you mean then?

And it will get worse, new price notifications from the manufacturers

The latest I heard was a decrease from one of the major suppliers but that was two weeks ago so some other supplier might have gone in the opposite direction.

The majority of suppliers have signaled a 10-15% increase. Bitter bitter...

 

[z_bumbi]

10-15% is juicy considering that much (all?) is already so high. Wonder if it will slow down sales increases or if people just keep buying.

Currently building an additional toilet in the utility area and we have to swallow the costs, because the alternative is to have only one toilet, which doesn't work with 5 people in the household.

However, it is off-putting to pay 75kr for a sheet of drywall, and the price per meter for studs is almost the same as cocaine unfortunately.
Luckily, we have a local sawmill where you can buy sawn raw boards with a thickness of 35mm, which saves some money on the walls.

 

[Träkåk]

Illegal? No, that's the wrong approach, free pricing, but short-term greed is not sustainable in the long run. Everyone knows how it works; when prices then fall, everyone in each step keeps a slightly higher profit than normal and doesn't reduce prices as much as they go down. A new player sees the opportunity to grab market share and enters an overheated industry and dumps prices, then prices drop, but first, we are milked thoroughly. High wages among builders and expensive materials lead to sky-high construction costs, the house price spiral accelerates further.

Still ridiculously expensive. This should be illegal

Yes, it's time for the state to introduce a construction materials price compensation.
Those who have paid 200:- for an OSB in December, January and February get back 100:-. Those who have paid 300:- get back 200:- and then there's a scale in between.
The support is paid out by byggmax in about half a year.

Yes, it's time for the state to introduce a building material price compensation.
Those who paid 200:- for an OSB in December, January, and February will get back 100:-. Those who paid 300:- will get back 200:- and there is a sliding scale in between.
The support will be paid out by byggmax in about half a year.

Exactly!!

The support will be paid out by byggmax in about six months.

And then we introduce an extra tax on nails and screws to pay for the whole thing!

From what I understand, sawmills are experiencing a shortage of raw materials because they haven't raised timber prices for forest owners, opting instead to take the entire profit themselves when international prices surged. Now, more and more forest owners are stopping logging, which sawmills are compensating for by raising the price of sawn timber (instead of increasing purchase prices).
