Increased Material Costs are expected to raise prices on these essential materials steel, aluminum, lumber, cement, concrete products, insulation, and appliances, adding cost pressures across all types of construction.

New tariffs could have an impact on project costs and timelines. Delays could be due to supply chain disruptions, while some contractors might need to redesign plans using alternative and potentially pricier materials to offset tariff impacts.

To manage rising costs from tariffs, builders may turn to domestic materials, though this could inflate local prices.

Tariffs could dampen overall economic growth, reducing demand for new construction. They also introduce market uncertainty, making it harder for builders to plan, budget, and manage project risks effectively.
