Abstract | The rapidly rising cost of steel and other construction materials is forcing some districts that are building new schools to scramble for more money, delay work, or redesign projects. Nationwide, contractors and architects are finding it harder to give accurate estimates on projects, and some have even had to renegotiate contracts with districts. This article discusses the impact of price increase of construction materials to districts' new school projects and to the construction contractors as well. Furthermore, the author discusses factors that drive up the cost of these materials. (ERIC). |
