Hi guys, anyone knows where to get the best prices for roofing timber? I need about 12,000 feet. The best quote am getting so far is 4*2= 34, 3*2=24, 2*2=15 10*1=68.
Thanks in advance.

Where are you based?
Pine, cypress or?
The qoute you have is actually good for pine around Nairobi area.
Make sure there will be no 'Monkey business'by those selling to you, especially while you are counting/tallying.
....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..

Those prices are decent.. Try to squeeze down by KES 3 on each size

Cypress, to be delivered to Utawala area. Yes I have my tape at hand. I can never use theirs.

I can get you good prices. We are located at in Ruiru, just opposite KU-Ruiru Campus Gate (Gwa Kairu). Check out our FB page for exact location.
You can also drop me a message and I will reply with a quotation

Be very cautious of where you buy, despite the low quoted prices

Good stuff.. There's a block of residences near Heron Portico that are built solely by prefab and aluminum.. Interesting
