What do Texas chemical plants have to do with lumber prices here? Serious question, not being a dick.

Lumber prices sink below $1,000 for the first time since March, now down 40% since May's record high
Lumber prices are now down roughly 40% from their May 7 peak, but are still up over 175% over the past year.

Where is this 40% decrease in lumber pricing? We sure haven't seen it LOL

3D-printed home envisioned as blueprint for affordable housing
Is 3D printing the future of affordable housing? It certainly seems possible. The burgeoning technology has the potential to construct houses faster and cheaper than with traditional building techniques, and has already resulted in a low-cost housing project in Mexico. Now global housing nonprofit…

I'm a custom builder in Vancouver and last year I finished a duplex for $296 per square foot (hard costs, plus fee). I just priced out that same build and if we were to do it now, it would be up nudging $375 per square foot. Basically a 27% rise in prices in the last 18 months. Yes lumber has been a major player in the escalation, but as mentioned here, plumbing, electrical etc all skyrocketing right now. And even products like Trex seem to push up 5-7% every 4-6 months.

My experience in BC is engineers are afraid to touch anything that's not in some spec book.

Engineered wood products (EWP) are important in our BC builds. OSB has been more expensive than plywood this spring because it contains more glue per sheet.

When the dust settles some sales guys will look around and wonder where their costumers went while others will have a new full Rolodex.

Actually, it's my name, MR are my initials. If my handle was from my work I'd be MRGrain.
