Up to 15% increase in hardware appliances

Apples, potatoes, and cabbage have all increased prices, and agricultural product prices have affected the nerves of residents in turns. However, in a less-recently-recognized area, decoration materials also ushered in an “upswing”, coupled with the increase in renovation labor costs, this winter. Residents who want to refurbish new homes in the coming spring will inevitably have to prepare more budgets.

It is worth noting that the renovation of labor costs for two consecutive years up, it is rare in the Shenyang industry, and the increase greatly exceeded the material fee increase.

Renovation money always takes the risk. In June of this year, Yang Zhongjun, a citizen, bought a 140-square-meter commodity house in southern Fujian. After receiving the key to the new house in early October, he and his wife quickly found a decoration team, and prepared a list of decoration materials, and began to run the decoration materials market for large purchases.

Yang Zhongjun said: “The unanimous result after our consultation is that we have a paperback. The total budget for fitting up and buying furniture is no more than 120,000 yuan. Only one month afterwards, we have finished toilets, kitchens, geothermal heating, walls, etc. Already nearly 100,000 yuan, a piece of furniture has not been added, and the budget of 120,000 yuan is certainly not enough."

Yang Zhongjun lamented that the renovation of shopping is really a money-consuming feeling. Some humble things are often very expensive. For example, wires and sockets, plus some ordinary lamps, cost more than 4,000 yuan. Selling, one can sell three or four hairs.

Wang Li, who had just completed her new home renovation, also spent money. She spent 60,000 yuan to renovate the 92-square-meter house and the result was thrown in more than 80,000 yuan. She said: "Some money is too expensive for you to think of, and many material decoration masters have listed and bought at a rough price. The result is still a big difference."

Renovation materials rose loudly, “How much is the international line one meter?” “1.8 yuan” and “How expensive?” “Now we don’t increase prices? The price of copper rose, and the 95-meter international line we just entered rose. 8 yuan, how can we have to add a little price to distribute the freight?"

This was a live conversation between a customer and the owner of the furniture factory in east east of Shenyang yesterday morning. In fact, in the last two months, the cement of one of the major building materials has risen from RMB 400 per ton to RMB 450, while it has increased by nearly 20% in the first half of the season.

One of the owners of the market told the author that plastic parts and some hardware tools based on copper and aluminum have recently risen by a certain margin. Take the waterway pipes he sells as an example. In the first half of the year, there was a 15% increase in prices, and now it has gone up. The price of a 3.4 tube is 11 yuan per metre, and it is also 8-9 after discount. Copper faucets are also rising.

Mr. Xu, a brand paint dealer in Shenyang, said that recently, the upstream raw material oil has risen sharply, and the paint has also faced a price increase risk. It may receive a notice of price increase in the near future. For this reason, he deliberately borrowed more than one million yuan to prepare goods in advance. "This year's paint hasn't risen too much. I'm afraid I can't avoid it this time."

The information obtained by the author from the market shows that, due to the increase in crude oil prices, the use of gasoline as fuel for kiln firing toilets, sanitary ware prices rose slightly; while the price of glass and aluminum prices rose, alloy doors and windows about 15% The rise. However, the price of woodworking materials does not change much at present.

Many homeowners stated that although raw material prices have been significantly raised, competition in the production and retail sectors has become fierce, and the cost of raw materials has been partially absorbed in production and sales, and some of them have been passed on to consumers.

Labor costs have been rising for two consecutive years. “Every year in September is the peak of housing delivery. Our home improvement activities have not been cut off. It is estimated that the renovation work will be carried out until early January. At present, due to the lack of decoration, mature workers are still in short supply, and wages have also risen. "Yesterday, Chen Xuedong, manager of the Shenyang Beauty Decoration Company, said.

Chen Xuedong told the author that the average daily wages of his company's carpenters have reached 150-180 yuan, compared with 130-150 yuan; the wages of bricklayers after settlement by area have reached 200-220 yuan, which was generally between 180-200 yuan. yuan. Better-skilled workers will also float 15% or more on this basis.

In fact, in April and May of this year, the renovation of the market in Shenyang, the decoration workers' wages rose with the decoration materials and has risen for the first time, and this time rose again. It is rare to see a sharp increase in labor costs twice a year.

According to industry insider Wang Jingkai, the reasons are many: First, the Shenyang construction real estate market remains hot, and the renovation market is not enough for manpower; Second, the decoration workers in the decoration market in Shenyang mostly come from Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, and the rural neighbors make them Baotuan, from time to time, went to Anshan, Liaoyang, and other cities to work and livelihood; Third, the price of decoration materials to promote; Fourth, the general increase in social prices, their actual cost of living increased.

In Chen Xuedong’s view, the impact of the increase in the number of decoration workers’ wages was higher than the price of decoration materials. He cited an example of a decoration of a 100-square-meter house with only 1.5 tons to 2 tons of cement. In addition to the user’s choice of high-quality materials, the decoration of basic materials The price increase rate is not large, may only be more than 2,000 yuan, but due to rising labor costs may cost 7 or 8,000 yuan.
