Building Now

The severe restriction in availability of construction trades, subcontractors, materials and equipment during the past few years has disappeared. People who tried to get projects completed in 2005 through 2008 often could not get the work done, irrespective of price, because of the shortages across the construction industry. Those days are past and labor is plentiful and eager to work.

Construction costs have declined. Decreased demand in the marketplace directly correlates to lower prices. The premium pricing that suppliers and contractors managed to command while demand was high are no longer able to secure those premiums because of increased competition. Coupled with declines in some material and equipment costs, overall costs are down 15 to 20% compared to past years.

Whether you are considering a new home, building, addition or remodeling, you will be able to get better quality at a lower price than in previous years.

Couple the changes in the marketplace with the federal government's incentives for energy efficiency and renewable energy, and 2009 appears to offer the best value in construction seen since the early 1990's.
