Compared to the last business survey in November 2021, the price of almost all building materials has risen. 6 construction firms in 10 (58% to be exact) have experienced price increases of more than 15% since November 2021 and one in four (24%) has noticed price increases of 25% or more.\u00a0Persistent price increases are having a significant impact on the cash flow of construction firms: 8% faced major cash flow problems in January 2022 compared to 5% in November 2021.<\/p>\n<p>And the immediate outlook is not good with inflation at its highest level in almost 40 years (7.59%) and with the highest monthly variation seen in 70 years in January.<\/p>\n<p>Although the sector\u2019s federation thought it had seen the worst of the crisis in November 2021 and believed that the price of building materials would start to drop once recovery was underway, this is clearly not the case. However, it would appear that this price increase is not being passed on to customers: in 54% of cases, it is the construction firm which covers the increase with the customer covering part of it but not all of it in 41% of cases. Delivery times are also severely affected. 56% of construction firms saw materials delivered more than two weeks late, and 32% more than four weeks late. The extension of delivery times mainly affects products involving installations, finishing work and artificial materials.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"grve-empty-space grve-height-1x\" style=\"\"><\/div><blockquote class=\"grve-element grve-align-left\" style=\"\"><p><\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Consequently, many construction firms are experiencing difficulties delivering their works.
