Historic Cost Escalations Delay Start of Projects

April 2022

Historic increases in construction costs have impacted the original timeline for school rebuilds and remodels. As such, many Phase 1 projects have been delayed by 7-9 years.

  • Annual cost increases since 2016 have been higher than previous trends.
  • Increases are related to labor shortages, material costs, tariffs, and supply chain issues.
  • Local market conditions have out-paced national trends due to growth.
  • Cost increases are anticipated to be near 10% for the next few years.

The Phase 1 timeline is still based on a ‘worst first’ schedule. In addition to these major projects, security upgrades and small scale remodels will continue. Read more about the impacts of cost escalations on school projects.

The anticipated start dates for Phase 1 projects are listed below.
