Whether it’s new construction, conversion or renovation: building and renovating remains expensive. The price increases for construction materials are now between 30 and 70 percent. According to the exhibitors at the fair, it is not to be expected that prices will fall again: “The current price situation will not change”, forecasts contractor Hubert Nechwatal from Echsenbach (district Zwettl).
Meanwhile, fair organizers cannot complain of a lack of interest despite rising prices. Messe boss Wolfgang Strasser pinpoints uncertainties in global supply chains as the reason. “Here at the show you really get the answers about when which products will be available, at what price and when they can actually be installed and deployed,” says Strasser. The supply chain situation has now calmed down a bit compared to the previous year, it is said.
