CONSTRUCTION COSTS ON THE RISE

The cost of building homes is going up. The latest Producer Price Index released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that prices of softwood lumber, gypsum, ready-mix concrete and OSB all rose in February. The increases were led by gypsum products, with softwood lumber a close second.

This year, the NWA HBA Foundations plans to participate in a day of giving in Arkansas. On April 6, non-profits from around the state are reaching out to the public to ask them to give. The Arkansas Community Foundation started this day of giving and adds the opportunity to earn bonus dollars for each non-profit that participates. All donations given to the Foundation help support students interested in the construction trades industry.
