people are still paying. Trust me I quote the same material list from last year that’s 30k higher now and most people are not even questioning. I guess the low rates offset the cost. I haven’t done the math but it’s insane. Don’t look for prices to come down through the summer. Maybe fall of this year but will hold through summer for sure. Right now let’s hope that production can even keep up. There are things that are getting hard to get. Could see a complete shutdown on some jobs if not.

I agree. I’m already seeing that for some of the building projects we have coming up. We build CLT panels. We can build the panels but are having to hold off on the projects because most contractors can’t get beams right now. They’re 8-9 weeks out even trying to get beams started to production. It’s just crazy.
