Q3 2021 Summary:

Construction escalation and supply chain issues are two issues which the stability of the industry is determined.

On the other hand, disruptions to the supply chain present challenges in the form of decreased availability and increased lead and shipping times.

Overall, supply chain and COVID procurement hurdles have added one to two months onto a typical construction schedule.
