Because of competition, reducing the tax (IPI) and trying to attract customers, the shops of building materials in Salvador fell by 30% the price of some items. Paint, window frames, cement floors, all kinds of items are advertised for tenants in winning promotion to the customer who wants to reform the house to the end of the year.
 
"This is a common drive to attract the customer. Discounts are ranging between 20% and 30%, "says Geraldo Cordeiro, president of the Association of Traders of Construction Material of Bahia (ACOMAC).
 
In anticipation of the compromise already 13 month salary of customers Gilvásio Rodrigues, Construmix store manager, says that the price floor, for example, has been negotiated down to the suppliers. "They are between 10% and 12% cheaper. And in this case, also put on sale the mortar and grout, which must be sold together, "says the manager. 
 
Showers are also with at least 5% discount.. "It was R$ 27.90, but is for R$ 24. We stock and the product now has the same output, "says Nildes Moura, manager of Super House. The bag of cement is 50 pounds up to 20% discount. Announced two months ago for about R$ 24.90, today can be found for R$ 19.90.
 
Paints and frames can also be found on sale. Gilvan Rocha, general manager of Costa Ferreira, says that these products are being reduced by up to 30% in store. "End of year, people want to reform their homes, even if the painting. And for this last three months, we have a 30% increase in customer demand, "said Rocha.

Growth - Cordeiro is optimistic when he talks about his expectations for the fourth quarter. Although the first half was not good, even with the reduction of the IPI, to Cordeiro, in the second half the industry must submit to grow by 5%.
 
According to the monthly survey, released by the IBGE, the accumulated between January and July showed a decrease of 10.3% for the segment. Cook confirmed that the reduction of the IPI also impacts the final price, but says that this is not the only reason. Until the 31st of December, the government maintains the IPI low.
 
Already Rosalvo Batista, public servant, who is building his house two years ago, criticizes this scenario. "The mason who works for me said he saw no difference after the reduction. And he always research, "he complains.
 
In addition to research, consumers need to be careful with spending. "Reform is the villain of the budget," points out Reinaldo Domingos, financial educator. For him, one should consider whether you really need to reform and what benefits it will bring: "If you have reserved money and will pay cash, it is interesting. But to go into debt would not recommend it to anyone. "
