💡 Kumaun Planner’s 3 Pro-Tips
Keep these three points in mind when purchasing construction materials:
- Transportation Costs (Logistics): In hilly areas, the cost of transportation often exceeds the cost of the material itself. Always buy from dealers who can arrange delivery using smaller 4×4 vehicles.
- Storage: The Kumaon region receives heavy rainfall (monsoon). Always store cement, plywood, and electrical goods in a dry, damp-free area.
- Compare Rates: Make sure to compare the current wholesale rates for cement and steel rebar from at least 3-4 different dealers in Haldwani and Rudrapur before finalizing your order.
Use this list to save both time and money if you are planning to start construction in Kumaon!
