Can somebody post the rates of Sand ( in squareft ) and Honne/Saal prices (per cubic ft)? Am confused with the comments from m3_07 as some other contractors also gave me similar price rating. Hence not sure why m3_07 thinks that its an impossible price . Am concerned about the quality, if the price quoted is too less as m3_07 mentioned.

Friends...I am currently buying...hence I know the market rates. I have given a labour contract & am supplying the materials of the quality to my satisfaction.

1. Wood - There is no LOCAL WOOD. Every piece of log is imported. WIth the dollar at 52.xx, the prices have gone up by 50 to 100/ CFT. Australian honne, best price was 1600, now at 1675. But...I managed to get it at 1575. Since my qty was approx 200 CFT, i wen in for LOG, which was 1450/ CFT. Log prices & cut piece prices are different.
2. Birla super - best price was 308 @ 50 bags. Now it is 320 @ 50 bags.
3. Sand - I am getting it from Trichy - 25K
4. Saal, is indeed expensive than Honne at 1750/ CFT. The 1000/ CFT Saal you are quoting is called HARDWOOD !! It is because of this reason I used Honne for Shutter + Frame.
5. Indus TMT prices - 47/ KG. It is going up by 1500/ Ton next week.

Hi m3_07,

Could you please give me the contact details for wood purchase? And also pls let me know what type of wood is good for main door, other room doors, bath rooms and windows?

Thanks in advance.

Honne is poor man's Teak...no offence meant, as there is no better alternative yet. Africal Teak is useless @ 2200 - 2600/ CFT.
