Material Prices

With the return of a demand-driven wood products market in 2012 – due to rapidly increasing housing starts in the U.S. – it is now forecast that lumber and panel prices will move to new highs in 2013 and record highs for lumber in 2014.

Construction Cost Trends

Division Trend Comments 1 General Conditions & Fees 

Moderate increase due to competition for experienced personnel.

2 Site Work & Earthworks 

Generally trending downwards based on oil pricing.

3 Concrete = 

Concrete supply prices are relatively stable with typical increases, but formwork and reinforcing is slightly higher based on demand

4 Masonry =

Material prices are stable.

5 Metals =

Relatively stable with flat material prices being offset by increasing labour costs due to competition for labour, although this may be moderating depending on the oil price.

6 Carpentry 

Raw lumber prices are above average and we anticipate this to peak in the summer of 2013.

7 Thermal & Moisture Protection =

Prices are not expected to change

8 Doors & Windows =

Domestic manufacturers are very competitive. No significant increase expected.

9 Finishes = / 

No significant increases are expected, however could vary depending on US housing market gypsum demand.

10 Specialties =

Generally stable.

11 Equipment (Appliances) 

Competitive market. There is generally increased competition in the electric / electronic consumer market.

12 Furnishings =

Generally competitive.

13 Special Construction =

Generally stable.

14 Conveying Systems (Elevators) = 

Price increases are expected due to a combination of increased labour costs due to skilled labour shortages and material cost increases.

15 Mechanical 

Moderate increases due to demand for skilled labour and material increases. The increase is dependent on the oil price and resultant activity in the oil sands.

16 Electrical 

Moderate increases due to demand for skilled labour and material increases. The increase is dependent on the oil price and resultant activity in the oil sands.

1

Qualified workers are available in local markets. Excess supply is apparent. Workers may move to other markets

2

Qualified workers are available in local or adjacent markets.

3

Qualified workers in the local market may be limited by short-term increases in demand. Established patterns of recruiting are sufficient.

4

Qualified workers are generally not available in local and adjacent markets. Recruiting may extend beyond traditional sources and practices.

5

Qualified workers are not available in local or adjacent markets. Competition is intense.

Labour Market Rankings

Sum m ary

  • 1. Construction costs have risen slightly in 2012.
  • 2. We can expect further increases in 2013, with lumber being the

most significant material factor and labour in general increasing.

  • 3. No significant differences between Regina and Saskatoon.

Labour market in Regina is a bit tighter but not likely enough to be significant.

  • 4. Oil and Gas sector uncertainty, with limited pipeline capacity

threatening oilfield activity and reducing profitability of oil companies.
