On April 1, 2024, a sad joke awaited the builders: prices for ready-mixed concrete increased by at least 30%.
The real estate sector closely monitors the cost of buildings materials. Both concrete and cement are classified as "basic".
The price spike is so large that it has attracted the attention of the Ministry of Commerce: despite promises to minimize the growth rate of the cost of iron, concrete and other key items, they have not yet been fulfilled.
The media reported that construction costs are at a peak and are expected to nearly double by 2024.
The quality of cement is one of the main conditions for high-quality construction, given Turkey's susceptibility to earthquakes. As you know, special chips embedded in concrete make it possible to check the quality of structures.
