I’ve noticed a significant increase in the price of steel this quarter, with some estimates citing up to a 15% rise… This has made bidding on projects much trickier, especially when trying to stay competitive. How are you all adjusting your estimates to account for these changes?
It’s tough out there! Just adjusted my estimates to reflect that 15% increase — it’s a balancing act. Are you finding ways to source materials differently? .
It’s wild how quickly material prices can swing — it’s like trying to balance on a seesaw with a kid who’s had too much sugar. I’ve been looking into bulk purchasing options to mitigate some of these spikes. Have you found any reliable suppliers yet?
