Editors Comment:
Escalating construction costs due to the impact from Covid-19
'On account of the volatile pandemic market there has been a significant cost increase to timber (including joinery), metalwork and steelwork. International shipping container rates have also escalated by up to 200%, raising the costs of imported products'. Detailed commentary for each Australian state can be found in the 2022 Handbook.
