Naw Im in DFW
You feel my pain 😄. I mostly do remove and replace. I have 14 concrete formers & finishers who form and pour. Did 130 yards this morning at 4 am.
Ready mix concrete used to cost me about $130 a yard. Now its roughly $200. Lumber costs skyrocketed a year or so ago but have came down a bit since.
Its the skilled labor thats killing me along with everyday fixed costs (insurance, fuel, equipment payments, and commercial warehouse rent)
Seems like the only thing going down is what GCs are willing to pay. $14/ sq ft to $12 to $10 😪
