u'll should turn this ched into the official building materials prices ched ....to future help others who going to build

OP it's not really safe to say one hardware will have the best prices. It's much more wiser to shop around and get things from various hardware , it works out to be a substantial amount of savings when you add it up.

Ramlagan have really decent and economical prices. They have specials on blocks actually lower than factory prices sometimes

Bhagwansing for steel no doubt .
Plumbing accessories you can shop around or go directly to the factory in tunapuna ( could be wrong wrt location)

Dindial's for blocks/sand/gravel etc,Bhagwansingh's for steel and Ramlagan for electrical and plumbing.

Thanks!
Block prices vary by abt .40c but then you need to add delivery.
I needed blocks delivered this morning,so bought from Absolute investments (corner of Munroe Rd)
6.95 for 6x8x16 250pcs
and 6.50 6x8x16 250pcs
$300 delivery.
Others had slightly better prices but could not deliver for this morn.

Now all i need is the chain link wire.
Any advise here?
heard to stay away from the 13.5 To use either the 12.5 or 10.5
Any brand i should stay away from?
