Construction and Rising Prices in Chicago, Illinois

,As residents of Chicago, IL, sat at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, many decided to upgrade their homes and remodel. However, the cost of construction materials and supply-chain problems are affecting property data and the number of building permit applications.

Supply-chain bottlenecks and labor shortages are making it difficult for contractors to finish projects. The producer price index for steel mill products, aluminum mill shapes, and copper and brass mill shapes have risen by 40 percent over the past year, while the index for plastic construction products is up more than 30 percent. The indexes for gypsum products such as wallboard, insulation, and trucking, have all sky-rocketed.
