Every week brings new reports of materials costs hitting record highs, while lead times lengthen or become ever more uncertain.
AGC of America recently released a Construction Inflation Alert. This document is intended to help chapters and members explain to owners, government officials, and others, what is happening and what all parties can do to minimize the damage.
AGC will hold a webinar on “Soaring Material and Supply-Chain Costs and Delays: What to Expect, How to Cope” on Wednesday, April 14, 3:30-4:30 pm EDT. This timely program will cover the latest information on current costs and supply-chain issues for a variety of materials, along with what to expect in the next few months and what contractors and owners can do to minimize the pain.
