Helena-area construction industry grapples with lumber shortages, high prices

Helena-area construction industry grapples with lumber shortages, high prices By: Marian Davidson and last updated 2021-05-12 21:04:03-04 Lumber prices are on the rise across the country, and those soaring costs hit the Helena area in the middle of a housing boom. New construction—both residential and commercial—is not an unusual site around the city. For area builders, high demand plus high costs have created challenges. “It’s definitely a challenge that we have to navigate through, and it’s different every day,” Golden Eagle Construction president Adam Senechal said. “It feels like every project can be different.” At the heart of the issue lie materials. Lumber shortages are driving prices up (link to Andy’s story), and pushing out delivery dates. Even basic necessities like I-joists for flooring, oriented strand board and plywood are hard to come by.
