Project Profile: Nu Edge Construction Ltd.

Nu Edge Construction has built their success on a commitment to quality workmanship. When founder, Wayne Bowman, needed to expand his operation he looked to Butler and local contractor P. Hansen Construction for a building that would reflect the company’s dedication to excellence while providing lower total operating costs. Butler’s hot-box tested roof and wall systems significantly lowered Nu Edge’s monthly operating costs.

State of the Industry: April 2021

Look no further than your local building supply store and you will see what has happened with the cost of construction supplies. In the past year, everything from insulation, electrical, plumbing, drywall, wood, and steel had whopping price increases. Some lumber prices have more than doubled, stimulated by strong residential construction, low interest rates and COVID induced mill capacity limits. Hot rolled steel prices are at a 13 year high driven by supply shortages and an increase in steel demand. As COVID-19 vaccines roll out globally, economic optimism and corresponding investment has taken off. Metal building manufacturers are reporting deliveries extended out to the 15-20 week range and open web steel Joist fabricators are booked out to the fall! A strong US housing market is also affecting fiberglass supply – as fiberglass manufactures shift production to residential batt and blown-in insulation, metal building insulation laminators are experiencing fiberglass supply shortages.
