A New, Better Way to Keep Up With Construction Material Cost Changes
By Gordian
Staying ahead of cost trends can feel like an uphill battle. Market volatility, geographical variations and the lag between project initiation to build introduces unpredictability in the total cost of construction projects. Working in uncertainty can lead to budget overruns, delays and decreased profitability, making it challenging to keep up. But what if there was a solution that could turn these challenges into opportunities for success? To ensure success in any project, you need the ability to anticipate changes and make informed decisions.
