Since 2016, and into the COVID pandemic, several materials critical to new home construction experienced unprecedented price increases.  The price of dimensional lumber, wooden sheet goods, vinyl siding and windows, copper pipe and wire, and power wire have all skyrocketed to historic levels, harming lumber yards, building supply companies, home builders, and consumers alike.

Scott+Scott is investigating the cause of the sudden increases in the price of these and other construction materials.  These increases have led to a drastic rise in the cost of new residential home construction, in some areas adding over 25% to the cost of construction in less than 12 months.
