What a LOAD of $%#$#@#%@ . Evergrande is a BIG developer. It does NOT mean that THEY consume LOTS of Steel for Housing Construction. For your info... Houses in China are Reinforced Concrete Structure. With Infill Bricks. As such ONLY steel reinforcement (An expensive item)are for the Frame and Floor . A TYPICAL house of 1200ft2 consumes about 2.3 to 3.3 tonnes of steel. Assuming they have in construction 50,000 units per year. 50,000 x 2.8 t = 140,000t. Which is "Peanuts" of the Total steel production. Civil Works ( Highways, Railways. Power stations, etc ) are the Major Consumers of STEEL. NOT HOUSING !!!!!! There are People who are Professional QS who does such analysis. Info :- " Steel Production in China decreased to 86800 Thousand Tonnes in July from 93900 Thousand Tonnes in June of 2021" ... https://tradingeconomics.com/china/steel-production. ..... THUS ------ 140/ 86800 = 0.0016. Or 0.16% ( Peanuts !!! ) Wastage in Civil Works is already ~ 2 to 4% !!!!!!!!!!
When I saw below fellow said 50k units, I laugh until I fall under the chair.
