Construction Site Security Camera Rentals Houston | Construction Inflation
Amid inflation, construction site security camera rentals in Houston have never been more critical to the industry and protecting profit margins.
Although the economy has strengthened in the past few months and appears to be headed for further growth, the construction industry has experienced a much more difficult recovery. A combination of supply chain issues, steeply rising material costs, and nearly stable bid prices have pushed some firms to the breaking point.
As an example of this struggle, if a contractor submitted a fixed-price bid based on materials costs at the time of the bid but did not buy materials until six months to a year later—a common industry practice—the cost for the materials could have risen as much as 24%. Since materials often represent 50% or more of the costs, the steep rise in the price of materials can quickly eliminate profit margins.
Recent government data sheds light on this. The Producer Price Index for construction climbed 22% last year. The most shocking numbers ranged from 42% for fabricated structural metal products, 87% for iron and steel, and 127% for steel mill products. Softwood lumber prices spiked almost 24% in December alone.
Preventing Construction Site Theft
The result is an all-too-real lesson in basic economics: lumber’s low supply and high demand have increased its price by more than 300% since April 2020. That makes it an attractive asset on any thief’s wish list. Construction materials are valuable, easy to steal, and even easier to sell. Because of this, construction site security cameras are essential to securing the property, protecting materials, and avoiding unnecessary loss.
