Information on Trade and Commerce for greater developments

The commerce department provides all the relevant information related to the trade in building construction materials and especially with regard to the annual imports and exports of cement, steel etc. Thus, the technical people engaged in low cost housing could make appropriate use of different materials, products, fittings and fixtures that are available in the market or could be procured from abroad.

This information is essentially required for those involved in housing construction. What is important is that the information should be up-to-date and adequate for the specific intended purpose. The presentation of trade information must be done in an attractive and precise way after providing the necessary details for making the right choices.

When building luxury houses in Kerala, the leading builders always rely upon costly fixtures and other building construction materials that are often sourced from abroad. By importing these materials in bulk, great savings in input costs can be achieved. Not only that, the longevity of the luxury home is also ensured. In cities like Cochin, people do have a penchant for quality. Thus, the high cost luxury homes do have many takers there.

Until recent times, India imported cement from Korea and other countries due to a shortfall in production and increasing demand. Due to the building boom and the phenomenal rise in real estate values, there was an acute shortage for cement and thus the cost of this highly essential building construction material has gone up phenomenally. Even though the national government has reduced the price of all types of petroleum products, the percolating effect is yet to be seen in the cost of the various building construction materials. Even though the slow down in the national economy and the large-scale lay off in the various companies are negative signals, the price of the various inputs into the construction of a building is still ruling on the higher side.
