Builders Say They're Getting Hammered by Skyrocketing Construction Costs

Steel prices have doubled in the past two years, while the cost of concrete has increased every six months since 2004. Drywall and bricks are being rationed. And can anyone spare some liquid asphalt?

…"I've been doing this 37 years, and I've never seen anything at this level," said Mike Slade, president of Ranger Construction Industries, a site development firm near West Palm Beach. "I've never seen it where the materials we use -- cement, liquid asphalt, gas -- are all under siege."
