ray23 Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 A friend said that he was quoted a price increase of 25% in cement in the Udon area recently anyone noticed a price increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I recently built a shop. In January the cost of a bag of cement was 78 baht. In February it was up to 90 baht. I have no idea what it is now but it went up that much in about 6 weeks. If you think cement went crazy, price steel re-bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleyboy Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Apparently there is a shortage of cement in this area so they are having to ship it in from other areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banpaeng Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 RAy the cement shortage is worldwide. Here in the states it is driving up construction cost a bunch. Wish I owned stock in Siam Cement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chownah Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 In the last 4 years cement prices have gone up and down a couple of times...don't know why...it'll probably come down again....unless the price of oil stays up since making cement is energy intensive.

Welsh John Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 China seems to be responsible for a lot of the worldwide problems with regards to higher prices.They seem to be buying up every single resource going. Where are they getting the money from???? Could be good savers I suppose!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
