Why 2026 Costs Look Higher
Construction costs heading into 2026 reflect a mix of rising material prices, strong labor demand, and stricter building standards. Materials like lumber, electrical components, and finish products continue to fluctuate due to supply chains, transportation costs, and manufacturer pricing. At the same time, skilled labor remains in high demand, which impacts scheduling and wages across the industry. Add in updated building codes focused on safety, energy efficiency, and long-term durability, and projects are simply more complex than they were years ago. While this can increase upfront costs, these standards are designed to create safer, more efficient homes that perform better and last longer, especially in climates like the Pacific Northwest.
Tips on How to Control Your Budget:
- Make decisions early
- Avoid mid-project changes
- Choose materials with reasonable lead times
- Work with a contractor who gives realistic numbers upfront
