Problems with the QLD building industry
The building industry in Queensland is facing numerous challenges in terms of supply.
This is due to a number of factors, such as a lack of resources, a shortage of skilled workers, and the rise in demand for construction materials.
You’ve probably heard some of this already, but keep reading because we have an idea that may interest you…
The first challenge is the lack of resources. The state is facing a shortage of raw materials, such as timber, steel, and concrete, due to a decrease in the availability of these materials. This has resulted in a rise in the cost of production, making it difficult for builders to source these materials in sufficient quantities.
The second issue is the shortage of skilled workers. The increasing demand for construction projects has led to a shortage of skilled labour in the building industry, as there is no longer enough qualified workers to meet the demand. This has led to a decrease in efficiency and productivity, leading to delays in the completion of projects.
The third problem is the rise in demand for construction materials. Due to the growing population in Queensland, the demand for new construction projects has increased. This has led to an increase in the demand for construction materials, such as timber, steel, and concrete. Consequently, the supply of these materials has become limited and prices have risen significantly.
The good news is…
That we have long term relationships with trusted suppliers. This means that we generally have first access to any materials required. So your renovations can be completed with a minimum of fuss.
We also have a carefully chosen, reliable team who are hand picked to ensure your project is completed to the highest standard. Having an efficient and loyal team, means your home will be back to normal within the scheduled timeframe.
Is your renovation on hold, or did you decide to cancel it altogether?
Yes, there has been a steep rise in demand for building materials, causing costs to increase, so some people have put their projects on hold.
If you have simply put your renovation on hold, rather than cancelling it altogether, you should consider this…
