Construction Sector Faces Key Materials Shortage

 

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2021 -- Pressures have been constant on the construction sector in the past year, not just in terms of demand for housing, but in dealing with the cracks in the infrastructure and supply chains that normally provide support. It's now emerging that shortages of key materials are making it difficult for the organizations that are not able to procure them and effectively bringing some parts of the construction sector to a grinding halt. In particular, shortages of steel and PVC pipes are causing serious stalling in many areas of construction. In addition, the cost of many basic materials such as adhesives, drywall and electrical equipment has risen and many deliveries have been delayed. Over the past year lumber was one of the few materials to remain in plentiful supply and to see a drop in cost. However, even that hasn't lasted, as since mid-August lumber futures have risen by nearly 40%. There are clearly challenges ahead - but the right team can make all the difference.
