Offers and materials may not be available in all OBI stores. All information refers to Germany. Quantities and prices may not be available in all stores in Germany. The calculated quantities represent a rough estimate of requirements, taking into account typical waste and offcut quantities and the expected costs. The calculated quantities may vary due to individual dimensions, on-site conditions, and processing methods. Additional/different items may be required for individual project implementation, and additional costs may be incurred. The project price can potentially be optimized by selecting different container sizes/combinations. These are cash and self-collection prices in EUR, including VAT.
Working hours/duration: The calculated working hours only serve as a rough estimate of the time required. The calculation is based on the planning of our specialist staff. It is assumed that all materials and resources are already available. Deviations are possible depending on on-site conditions, personal skills, and available resources. All calculated times exclude drying times and any other necessary breaks.
