Been reading yesterday newspaper on nearly 200 Government contractors returning those building contracts they secured.
Main reason being, the material cost have escalated by more then 30% to 40%.
I am pretty sure the cost to build a new Birdhouse will increase by the same margin.
Those who have already had them ready will be laughing to the bank but what about those who are planning and yet to built one?
I am very sure you will affect but that is not a good reason for you to decide otherwise.
I have located this new building technology that I am studying and it can cut your building cost by almost 40%. The material use is made of low density cement materials and during construction it uses frame that are ready made for a standard 20x70 feet birdhouse.
Once the cement floor is poured and hardened, U can then built the frame around the cement floor using frame. Once the walls are up, U then install the supporting wood frame, which is actually your nesting plank, to act as the upper floor support.
The unit takes about 3-4 week to complete.
I hope more new technologies are made available making birdhouse a much cheaper and highly possible to get many birds in them.
Have a look at the pictures and please call if you are keen to look at it on a more serious note.

Before this, I have already have a plan on how to built houses using this method esp. in remote area using alot of steel rods to prevent stealing of nests. A contractor told of the high cost in building the frame structures in the initial setup. Any way of knowing the cost and who is the contractor in this method.
Thanks for sharing the idea.
Problem with LCM is low density concrete absorb water and humidity making the environment very low humidity.
Calvin,
The cost for a two stories BH 20 X 70 feet is said to be below 100K. The contrator who invented this technology is a Malaysian located in the state of Pahang.
I have yet to meet him but this unsual system is said to be new in the market.
Ah send,
Thank you for your comment. I will be checking on the absorbsion of water and humidity. Once I got the right answer will post here.
Need at least 1600-1800kg/M3 density to build BH. Normal brick concrete is 2400kg/M3. Another problem with LCM is limited of height. Heard from people max only can do 2-3 storey max. It's claimed by LCM Malaysia they invented the technology but there are evidence that this method has been used in China for low cost houeses long time ago. The lower the concrete density the more air pockets and pores on the surface of concrete. These will absorb humidity resulted in dry atmosphere. There are solutions to this problem though.
