What materials cost in Kathmandu Valley right now
Planning a build in the valley? These are the indicative rates we are seeing from suppliers and dealers across Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur this month. Use them for early budgets and BOQ drafts, then confirm with your own supplier before you order. Prices move with demand, transport cost, brand, and order size.

These are indicative retail figures. Bulk orders, specific brands, and site delivery can shift the final price. If a rate looks off to you, tell us through the contact page and we will recheck it.
How we collect these rates
At the start of each month we check dealer and supplier rates across the valley for the core construction materials, then publish the snapshot here. This page always shows the latest month. Older snapshots stay on the site so you can watch how prices move over time. We are expanding the list each month: PPC cement, more rebar sizes, timber, and binding wire are next once we have verified dealer rates.
