Have Building Prices Increased in 2024?

Yes, building prices have increased over the last several years and as a result impacted the overall cost of home remodels and renovations. While some material costs have stabilized, many are still substantially higher compared to pre-pandemic levels. If you obtained a quote for a home improvement project before 2020, it's likely that the current cost will be significantly higher.

 

Factors contributing to these increased costs include:

• Increase in material prices: The cost of essential building materials like concrete, steel, and drywall has risen dramatically.
• Increase in labor costs: The availability of construction labor has decreased and is projected to continue to decrease in the coming years which increases the cost of labor for skilled carpentry and other trades such as plumbing and electrical. 
• Supply chain disruptions: Challenges in transporting and sourcing materials have added to overall costs across the United States. This is amplified for Hawaii as we are on an island. 
• Inflation: The general increase in prices across the economy has impacted the construction industry.
