here's one for ye
hoping to buy a plot soon, so trying to get some info together on prices for different products that i will need for the build.
i will be doing a lot of the work myself and anything else will be direct labour.

does anyone know if windows and doors can be bought directly (double glazed), any idea of prices.

roof tiles: i know i am restricted in what i can use but any ideas on what to expect, price wise. or even where to get them.

plumbing supplies, electrical supplies, timber, cement, blocks/bricks, concrete etc or anything you might think i will need.
is all the above easily found on corfu, if so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as to where to go etc, i can check out prices myself when i get over.

thanks again for all the help.
what can i say, this site's a fountain of knowledge.

regards
petros

Hi Petros

Glad you are enjoying the site!

All the above things are readily available on Corfu.  If you drive around you will see places with doors and windows, building materials, tools etc stacked outside.  I haven't noticed tiles or bricks but they must be here somewhere.  I can't help with prices though.

You really need to get some supplier recommendations from other people who have used similar materials in the area that you have building in.  let us know when you get that far and hopefully other members will be able to assist you further.

IMHO

The best place to start looking is Profi - the big builders merchants/hardware store going out of Corfu Town towards Gouvia.

Excellent range - reasonable prices.

A lot of the windows now used are aluminium and there are a number of places fairly close to the airport.
