Rising costs and material shortages are putting real pressure on the residential building industry. Fuel, materials, and ongoing supply chain disruptions are making it harder to price jobs with confidence and harder still to keep projects on schedule when supplies aren't there.
We've created a range of practical resources to help you navigate both challenges, including:
- Contract variations and delays: how to handle during material shortages.
- Consumer information sheet: how to explain industry pressures to clients.
- Webinar: practical strategies for dealing with price increases mid-construction due to international supply chain disruptions.
