Inside the construction industry, you can find a lot of raw materials like granite, concrete, gravel, cement, sand, etc. These raw materials are required to construct a building, a home, or an apartment.
Therefore, the construction industry is always on the lookout for how it can procure different raw materials from suppliers at competitive prices so that the cost of designing a project is reduced.
On this parlance, let us discover primary factors while navigating through material price fluctuations in the construction industry. Helping you get started here:
What do you do at the planning stage?
Construction projects must account for price changes that might impact the cost of raw materials in the future. The prices can vary over a particular time frame due to inflation, recession, or other economic ups and downs. Charts or graphs must be prepared by the construction industry to account for this. And, the projected changes can be recorded by measuring the value of raw materials in a simulated atmosphere.
Say, for instance, a software can be used to track changes in raw materials over the years. This way, an emergency fund can be created for the rising prices of construction materials. The entire cost of the project is then calculated for further use in the industry.
Factors that impact price movement fluctuations of materials used in the construction industry:
Let us evaluate various factors when navigating material price fluctuations in the construction industry. Helping you get started here:
1. Strategic procurementÂ
Many suppliers of building materials to the construction industry typically purchase in bulk quantities during periods of low cost. Therefore, you can look for these suppliers who own stocks pertaining to different types of raw materials that are particularly used in the construction industry.
You can also aim at establishing key ties with these suppliers so that they supply you with construction-related raw materials throughout the year at these materialized prices, and you, as a builder, get your supplies without skipping the continuity.

2.   Market Intelligence and Forecasting
If you want to know the ups and downs of materials that are used in the construction industry, this is something that essentially needs to be done. You must track the pricing trends of key ingredients that are typically used by builders or real estate companies with respect to the raw materials that are needed.
The raw materials are steel, lumber, concrete, granite, and so on. You can track their prices via commodity exchanges, Product Price Indexes, or PPI, and via other economic indicators.
You must also look at macro-level indicators that impact the prices of materials in the long run. These are changes in interest rates, inflation, and other geopolitical tensions that you can think of. Above all, you must install construction-related software that analyzes procurement of raw materials, analytics, and budgeting.

3. Having a look at certain financial strategies
Here are three important strategies that can help you navigate through price fluctuation movements in construction raw materials. Let us have a rundown on the same:
3.1 Contingency Budgeting
Allocating funds for unexpected price raises in construction raw materials is what is known as contingency budgeting. This way, you can absorb highly fluctuating material price increases.
3.2 Hedging
Real estate companies or property builders can resort to what is known as hedging. Here, property builders hedge against the price volatility of raw materials.
3.3 Investing in the commodities market
Real estate companies invest heavily in commodity markets that supply cement, gravel, sandstones, etc. Through the price movements in the commodity market, they negotiate prices of raw materials that are used for construction.
At HM Indigo Apartments, covering Kanakapura- Bannerghatta Link Road, you have open spaces that have been designed using eco-friendly materials to create walkways and pathways for pedestrians and residents of the gated community.
4. Take a look at value engineering
Value engineering refers to the optimization of building resources using cost-effective building materials and designing buildings that surpass quality excellence. Here, the product designs are evaluated under audit norms so that the quality of construction materials is never compromised.
