Lumber prices surged 23% year-over-year in April, reviving cost pressures that rattled builders earlier in the pandemic. The spike, driven by sawmill closures and fears of higher tariffs on Canadian imports, is squeezing margins for major developers like Lennar, D.R. Horton, and Toll Brothers. The U.S. currently imposes a 14.5% duty on Canadian softwood lumber—accounting for 85% of American imports—but that rate could more than double following a regulatory review expected by August. The volatility comes as HUD Secretary Scott Turner outlines a bold deregulation agenda. Speaking at the T3 Leadership Summit, Turner pledged to ease red tape, open underused federal lands for construction, and eliminate the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing rule. Turner says the goal is to unlock new supply by empowering local governments and encouraging self-sufficiency. Meanwhile, HUD faces proposed budget cuts of $33.6 billion, raising questions about how effectively the agency can stimulate new building while federal funding shrinks. Together, rising material costs and shifting federal policy are setting the stage for a turbulent second half of 2025 in the housing sector.

If you're interested in learning more about the construction of Hoover Dam, scroll to the end of the show notes for links.00:00 - A Quick Dam Joke, the Consortium, and Some StatsWe question our ability to keep our puns in check. Sorry, Mom.Then we move on to the contractors. We discuss the consortium called Six Companies Inc. that won the bid at nearly $49 million, approximately $860 million in today's dollars.Eddie makes a conveniently timed comparison to the Washington Monument. The Hoover Dam is 726 feet tall–almost 200 feet taller than the Washington Monument. Only 6 buildings in the US were taller than the dam when it was built.We discuss some stats:-4.4 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the project. That is enough to pave a two-lane road from Seattle to Miami or a four-foot-wide sidewalk around the Earth at the Equator or enough to pave a two-lane road from Seattle to Miami.-Its base is as thick as the length of 2 football end-to-end-It has 4 intake towers (30' diameter each) that can carry enough water to fill 900 bathtubs in only one second. That means 1,448,100 “bathtubfuls” of water will have passed through the dam in the time it takes you to listen to this episode.07:15 - Construction Costs and Power OutputTyler mentions that the cost of the initial construction, which finished in 1936, wasn't paid off until 1987. Eddie discusses the way that we handle financing for capital projects, spending not just tomorrow's money–but money that won't come in for decades.We compare these expenses to the absolutely monumental amount of economic impact that the electricity from the dam has had. Here's where the 4 billion kilowatt-hours each year goes:19% to Arizona23% to Nevada58% percent goes to California (15% to LA, which is 270 miles away)10:46 - Hoovervilles and FatalitiesEddie fills the gaps in Tyler's history education with an explanation of the Hoovervilles from the Great Depression. Hoover didn't get much positive PR aside from this dam.We discuss the desperation of the Great Depression is shown by the fact that the ability to line up workers for a job to do this. Tyler shares the troubling coincidence is the fact that the first and last men to die on this project were father and son.Thinking about these human costs leads us into a discussion about the structure of incentives and penalties that drove the owners of Six Companies to push the pace of construction.19:53 - Takeaways: Big Projects, Green Energy, Old-school DraftingWe discuss the fact that bold projects lead to emboldened people who move on to even bolder projects. Sometimes biting off more than you can chew leads to growth.Tyler makes the point that this dam was a green-energy project long before the term “green energy” was coined. He also expresses awe at the thought that all of the drafting for this massive project would have been done by hand.Eddie stops short of calling himself a history buff, but he expresses a deep respect for the teams of designers and workers who accomplished massive projects like this with so little help from what we consider advanced technologies.Tyler invites you to submit your ideas for future research-based projects.If you're interested in additional details about the Hoover Dam, explore these sources:EIA.govUSBR.govB1M video: compares the world's largest dams to other structuresLake Mead historical water-level chartNPS.govBechtel's page about construction of the damOld publicity/education videoLibrary of Congress PhotosVideo of the physics and engineering involvedCheck out the partners that make our show possible.Find Us Online: BrosPodcast.com - LinkedIn - Youtube - Instagram - Facebook - TikTok - Eddie's LinkedIn - Tyler's LinkedInIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us! Thanks for listening

Dominic Cortese, host of Hammertime Radio on WBEN and President of Cortese Construction, says price increases for construction materials are "more of a reaction than a reality."

Building costs have gone through the roof. A new QV CostBuilder survey revealed a significant increase to costs over the last four years. It looked at the comparative costs of a standard 150m square home over six main centres, and revealed an average increase of 44%. The biggest increases were seen in Palmerston North, Dunedin, and Wellington. Blackburn Management's Mike Blackburn told Andrew Dickens that most of the increase would have occurred during the 2021/22 period when the pandemic was causing problems with the supply chain. The good news, he says, is that in the last 12 months, the average cost increase on a square metre basis was on 3% across the entirety of New Zealand.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 1203 published last May 28, 2019. Jason Hartman and Adam examine the Investopedia article they referenced yesterday referring to the 9 common effects of inflation. The 2 types of inflation (cost-push and demand-pull) are also broken down in regards to how they impact your property value and rent. Then the two examine what impact the Trade War with China could have on the markets properties are available in. If production from overseas come back to the United States, where are we likely to see the impact? Key Takeaways: 4:42 The 9 common effects of inflation 9:52 The land value is the one that's susceptible to big swings in value 13:25 Cost-push versus demand-pull inflation 16:34 How the Trade War could create cost-push inflation in the linear markets we're investing in 19:49 If China ever manages to create a middle class they're going to have to deal with a new set of issues, which might make them an inopportune producer 24:36 When labor shortages hit construction it can make it incredibly expensive to build a house and retain the workers needed 29:16 Once the Trade War has ended, look at what job sectors are going to be impacted most and adjust your investing strategy accordingly Website: www.JasonHartman.com/Ask www.JasonHartman.com/Properties 9 Common Effects of Inflation on Investopedia     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

In this episode of Nuggets on the Go, Melvin Lim, Co-Founder and CEO of PropertyLimBrothers catches up with Joseph, the founder and principal architect of BHATCHBatch Architects, as shares his career leap from K2LD Architects to his own firm. See what Joseph has to say about the evolving trends in Singaporean architecture over his past 15 years of practice.   Joseph addresses the rising costs of rebuilding landed properties, acknowledging how inflation has become a homeowner's nemesis. He shares his firm's meticulous process, emphasising that thorough planning is key to minimising changes during construction. He reveals the importance of collaboration, illustrating how good architecture is a dance between the architect's vision and the client's dreams—because what's a stunning design if it doesn't feel like home?   Joseph highlights the need for empathy in architectural practice, reminding us that it's not just about creating beautiful buildings but also about crafting spaces that truly resonate with their inhabitants. As a boss, he also promotes a work-life balance for his team, ensuring they can deliver thoughtful, well-planned designs without burning the midnight oil.

Health NZ will be weighing up the two options for the new Dunedin Hospital. An independent review has found the current plan for Dunedin Hospital, is 'probably not achievable' within its current budget of $1.88 billion. The Government has said it either needs to scale back the project's main building or swap it out in favour of a "staged development" on the old site to keep it within the budget. Health NZ Head of Infrastructure Delivery Blake Lepper old Mike Hosking costs have been creeping up for some time. He says after construction began on the main outpatients building, the real costs emerged and they realised they had a problem. Lepper says this is the problem with greenfields projects, when they were trying to do something a bit different and aspirational. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Competition in construction is forcing builders to scrape by with low margins.   Corelogic's Construction Cost Index shows building costs have dropped 1.1% in the three months to June, the first decrease in 12 years.   It looks at the price of labour, material, plant hire, and subcontract services.  Construction Industry Council Executive Director Tommy Honey told Andrew Dickens it's pushing subcontractors to tighten their belts.   He says it's good news for those wanting to build but foreboding for the construction sector.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lauren Gibbons of Bridge Michigan chats with Eric Paul Dennis, research analyst specializing in infrastructure policy. While Michigan is working to ‘fix the damn roads,' with historic levels of state and federal road funding, this effort has been undermined by unprecedented inflation in the cost of construction. And road construction inflation is not uniform: using 2015 as a baseline year, cost increases range from 34 percent in the Upper Peninsula to 63 percent in the Detroit Metro region. Michigan's highway construction costs have increased 12 percent above expected historical rates, resulting in the purchasing power of Michigan's road agencies dropping by over $700 million in 2023 alone. Following the enactment of a 2015 road funding package to increase Michigan's annual transportation revenue by an estimated $1.2 billion by 2021, subsequent gains in state and federal funding increased Michigan's transportation budget from $3.7 billion in 2015 to $6.1 billion in 2023. Expenditures on road and bridge programs, specifically, increased from $2.9 billion in 2015 to $5.7 billion in 2023. In nominal dollars, this represents a healthy 99 percent increase over these eight years. But when adjusting for inflation, the purchasing power of this funding is much lower. Michigan's road agencies generally have significantly more funding than any time in the past. However, this funding is not going as far as would have been expected only a few years ago. Agencies remain challenged to utilize existing funding levels to catch up with historical maintenance backlogs and bring Michigan's roads and bridges into a state of good repair.

Growth rates for the country's construction costs are the lowest in almost eight years.  The quarterly Cordell Construction Cost Index is a division of CoreLogic.  The latest results report an annual growth of 2.3%, down from the 10.4% peak recorded in Q4 2022.   Chief property economist Kelvin Davidson says although there's still pressure on the sector, the normalised supply chains make pricing easier.  He told Mike Hosking that it's not necessarily getting cheaper, the rate of growth is just slowing so those hoping new builds will get cheaper might be slightly disappointed.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're interested in learning more about the construction of Hoover Dam, scroll to the end of the show notes for links.00:00 - A Quick Dam Joke, the Consortium, and Some StatsWe question our ability to keep our puns in check. Sorry, Mom.Then we move on to the contractors. We discuss the consortium called Six Companies Inc. that won the bid at nearly $49 million, approximately $860 million in today's dollars.Eddie makes a conveniently timed comparison to the Washington Monument. The Hoover Dam is 726 feet tall–almost 200 feet taller than the Washington Monument. Only 6 buildings in the US were taller than the dam when it was built.We discuss some stats:-4.4 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the project. That is enough to pave a two-lane road from Seattle to Miami or a four-foot-wide sidewalk around the Earth at the Equator or enough to pave a two-lane road from Seattle to Miami.-Its base is as thick as the length of 2 football end-to-end-It has 4 intake towers (30' diameter each) that can carry enough water to fill 900 bathtubs in only one second. That means 1,448,100 “bathtubfuls” of water will have passed through the dam in the time it takes you to listen to this episode. 07:15 - Construction Costs and Power OutputTyler mentions that the cost of the initial construction, which finished in 1936, wasn't paid off until 1987. Eddie discusses the way that we handle financing for capital projects, spending not just tomorrow's money–but money that won't come in for decades. We compare these expenses to the absolutely monumental amount of economic impact that the electricity from the dam has had. Here's where the 4 billion kilowatt-hours each year goes:19% to Arizona23% to Nevada58% percent goes to California (15% to LA, which is 270 miles away)10:46 - Hoovervilles and FatalitiesEddie fills the gaps in Tyler's history education with an explanation of the Hoovervilles from the Great Depression. Hoover didn't get much positive PR aside from this dam. We discuss the desperation of the Great Depression is shown by the fact that the ability to line up workers for a job to do this. Tyler shares the troubling coincidence is the fact that the first and last men to die on this project were father and son. Thinking about these human costs leads us into a discussion about the structure of incentives and penalties that drove the owners of Six Companies to push the pace of construction. 19:53 - Takeaways: Big Projects, Green Energy, Old-school DraftingWe discuss the fact that bold projects lead to emboldened people who move on to even bolder projects. Sometimes biting off more than you can chew leads to growth. Tyler makes the point that this dam was a green-energy project long before the term “green energy” was coined. He also expresses awe at the thought that all of the drafting for this massive project would have been done by hand. Eddie stops short of calling himself a history buff, but he expresses a deep respect for the teams of designers and workers who accomplished massive projects like this with so little help from what we consider advanced technologies. Tyler invites you to submit your ideas for future research-based projects.

A property's value is typically divided into two components: the land value and the value of any improvements, such as the dwelling. Conventionally, land tends to appreciate over time, while buildings are said to depreciate as they get older and suffer more wear and tear. However, the rise in construction costs poses an interesting question: what impact do rising construction costs have? In today's episode, Stuart Wemyss and I discuss the ramifications of soaring construction costs on property investment. We cover the challenging landscape of the property market, focusing on aspects like renovations, investment locations, and the power of a positive mindset. From analyzing historical trends of construction costs outpacing inflation to discussing strategies for creating intergenerational wealth, Stuart's insights provide an in-depth exploration of property investment in the face of rising construction costs.
