We are still in contact with our general contractor, with whom we built in 2021. The second price increase of this year is now due. This means that prices have risen by more than 30% within 6 months. Current homebuilders have to pay a 2% surcharge for increased energy costs. And 15 houses have been postponed because steel could not be procured.
How is the situation with reinforcing steel in Bavaria at the moment? Our general contractor says he has massive problems and cannot get any reinforcing steel. Is the market really empty or are the prices just so high that people prefer to wait?
We are in Bavaria and unfortunately need a lot of steel for our house (construction start at the end of May). The shell builder did not mention any delivery problems, but we are only getting a daily price for steel. The current offer is 25,000 euros more expensive than two weeks ago.
Next week we will discuss with our construction engineer when we bite the sour apple.
We are in BY and unfortunately need a lot of steel for our house (construction starts at the end of May). The shell builder didn't mention any delivery problems, but we only get a daily price for steel. The current offer is 25K€ more expensive than two weeks ago. Next week we will discuss with our structural engineer when we will bite the bullet.
How many tons of steel do you need? Does the 25k€ surcharge relate solely to the steel or to the total cost?
