2023 New Home Builds Are Becoming More Expensive in Australia
What’s behind this increase in construction costs? The answer lies in a few key factors. Energy costs are going up globally, which affects the price of some construction materials like cement, glass, and aluminum. These are energy-intensive resources, meaning they require a lot of power to produce.
Supply chain issues have also played a part. Even though things are improving, builders in Australia still sometimes struggle to get certain materials quickly. For instance, concrete, which requires a lot of energy and space for transport, is one material that can be difficult to obtain.
The Role of Quantity Surveyors: Benefits To Construction Projects
A quantity surveyor performs many different roles in a construction project, but their primary contribution is as a financial and contractual advisor.
Their expertise lies in costing a project at every stage, procurement, and tendering, monitoring the value of variations, and measuring work in progress to ensure the project is constructed at a fair and equitable cost.
Building Costs in Sydney Update 2023
Almost a million new homes are forecast to be built in Australia for the five years between 2023 and 2028. It’s 35,000 short of the government’s goal and assumes no further increases to the cash rate. It also does not factor in land supply as a constraint on detached home building. Unfortunately, homeowners have yet to face the full impact of an increasing cash rate on their mortgages, and the ramifications may continue to influence the building supply industry well into 2024.
