Construction association cautions that new Buy America rules will only add to the pain by limiting contractors’ ability to bargain on pricing for federally funded infrastructure and building projects
The price of materials and services used in nonresidential construction jumped 12.6 percent in September from a year earlier despite a dip of 0.2 percent last month, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of government data released Oct. 12. Association officials note that the construction industry was suffering the most from inflation, adding that new Buy America rules set to go into effect as soon as next month will only make the situation more dire.
