The labour pool has shrunk, interest rates have risen and construction costs have skyrocketed, the association says.
“This project is behind schedule and over budget so we’re struggling with people to get employees or get workers on site. There’s a lot of work out there and they’re dispersed and we’re not sure where they’ve all gone,” said Dueck. “As we all have heard, construction costs have skyrocketed. You’ve got cost increases, you’ve got construction cost increases and interest rate increases, and no guys to do the work so it’s extremely stressful on us.”
The BC and Vancouver Island Construction Associations say the B.C. government could help the industry by enacting prompt payment legislation that would require sub-contractors to get paid within 30 days.
