The Pulse | Q3 2023 Edition | Greater Boston Market

Contractors in the Northeast and throughout the US still have solid backlogs extending throughout 2023 and 2024. Interest rates hikes, pricing volatility, employees not working in their physical offices, and other macro stressors have dampened many market sectors. Developers are cancelling or pausing some permitted projects for large buildings / facilities on spec and the tenant interior market is slow. Academic, healthcare, and the large-scale residential markets continue to be strong. This update is a snapshot of today and we implore you to reach out with questions should you have any.

The Pulse | Q2 2023 Edition | Greater Boston Market

The vulnerabilities of the global supply chain have caused major disturbances in pricing and lead time for the construction industry. Everyone we speak with on this topic has an example of a recent project where materials didn’t ship on time, releases weren’t timely, pricing increased, or the quoted lead time was so long that schedules had to be extended. These historically long lead times have mostly stabilized, while pricing for electrical components continue to increase. This update is a snapshot of today and we implore you to reach out with questions should you have any.

Post COVID, the global supply chain vulnerabilities were exposed and this has caused major disturbances in pricing and lead times for the construction industry. Since our last edition of The Pulse in November 2022, historically long lead times have (mostly) stabilized, while pricing for electrical materials are still increasing. Our goal with The Pulse is to share current market conditions with our customers and partners. This update is a snapshot of today and we implore you to reach out with questions should you have any.

The Pulse | Q4 2022 Edition | Greater Boston Market

Introducing “The Pulse” industry trends and forecast report. During the second half of 2020, the pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of the global supply chain. Labor shortages and decreased availability of materials needed in all phases of construction (coupled with strong demand) has impacted pricing and supply. Thus, the commercial construction industry is facing extraordinary supply chain and pricing unpredictability. Our goal with The Pulse is to share current market conditions with our customers and partners. This update is a snapshot of today and we implore you to reach out with questions should you have any.
