I'm curious about the impact of the pandemic etc on the price of building materials, specifically timber.
A few weeks back I paid this:
Sheet of building-quality ply, 12mm - £60
4.8m length of 100mmx50mm, planed - £20
What are the prices like on the continent?
Prices here.
44 x 96 mm 3.9m long planed - €19.22
12mm ply 2440 x 1220mm sheet, exterior grade - 61.99.
Those are the prices from my local Gamma (gamma.nl).
Interestingly I have a price list from Amsterdam fijn hout. But I also have one from last march.
12mm Birch ply 250cm x 125cm - €67.25
And october's price list:
12mm Birch ply 250cm x 125cm - €126.21
Both prices are without BTW/VAT.
Interestingly the prices are not consistent in how much they have gone up
March 2020: 9mm birch ply 250cm x 125cm - €82.35
October 2021: 9mm birch ply 250cm x 125cm - €102.10
Prices at the local gamma for the 1220 x 610 sheets have not gone up by very much at all. But the bigger stuff has.
