[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2514139, member: 71221"] I’m guessing the OP doesn’t follow the commodities markets or doesn’t work in a industry that is affected by supply chain delays. I can tell you we are easily paying 50-60% more for copper and steel than we were 2 years ago; and lead times have quadrupled. It is in no company’s best interest to “gouge“ anyone. As stated by another poster; they are simply taking their cost and marking it up to the profit margin that they need to stay afloat. I am currently doing a project that has 2 phases spread approximately 2 years apart on start dates. Phase 2 cost has increased by 43% to the owner due to current economy issues but my profit margin remains the same. [/QUOTE]
