I recently had a conversation with a friend who is speaking with builders in the 30a area and she was told that wood for building is really increasing in price now. Is this true? Anyone have any info on this?

I know that this is a little late but there has been a rise in lumber costs. I went through a lot of builders before I decided to undertake an owner build. You will also notice a price difference depending on the supplier that they go with as well. Some builders get more of a volume discount due to the amount of materials that they purchase through vendors as well.

Overall though, there has been a bit of a rise in material costs over the last few months. If you doubt the information that the builder gives you, call a few of the suppliers to get an accurate inflation rate as they will know exactly what is happening.
