I need a recident of chakwal-ideally someone living
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I need a resident of Chakwal—ideally someone living close to Ara Bazar—who can visit the timber stalls repeatedly and report back with solid, first-hand data for a planned house-construction project. Over roughly fifteen to twenty short trips you will talk with wholesalers, inspect stock, and document everything that influences structural lumber choices in our region.
Your investigation should cover every commonly sold species, note the visual and tactile clues that reveal whether the wood is dry or still green, record how long any seasoned stock has been stored, and judge each option’s suitability for framing, roofing, and other load-bearing uses. Up-to-date wholesale and retail prices are essential, so be prepared to verify them with more than one dealer.
I will rely on you for a concise but comprehensive file that lets me compare:
• Types of wood available in Ara Bazar
• Current price range for each type (per cubic foot or maund, exactly as quoted)
• Condition—dry or wet—and, for dry pieces, estimated age since milling
• Your assessment of which sizes, grades, or “chateer” sections still match the robust timber used in older homes
Please organise findings in a simple spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) and attach clear photos of representative stocks, dealer signboards, and any moisture-testing you perform. Short voice notes or video clips are welcome if they help illustrate quality differences.
Someone with prior lumber-yard or construction knowledge will finish faster and ask better questions, but enthusiasm and the ability to speak with shopkeepers in Punjabi or Urdu are equally valuable. If this sounds like you and you are free to make multiple weekday visits, let’s get started immediately.
