If your construction has already begun, you will likely see little to know davings even if there is a steep decline in the cost of materials. Labor still is the biggest part of building and your subs have likely already priced your job.

Even in recessions, the cost to build rarely drops. At worst, (maybe at best) they stagnate.

I’m comfortable with the cost to build but I’d LOVE to see rates drop by the time I’m finished building.

Your window package is going up. Word on the street in my industry is a flat glass increase coming mid August. We're looking at a 10% increase on raw glass. That usually equates to a ~15% increase on insulating glass.

He’s a bot/alter so of course he’s not standing by shite.
