Material costs right now are actually at about a 15 year low with the exception of copper and anything petroleum based, like pvc or shingles, even still, they are not overly prohibitive. Good reputable labor, while they (contractors) may be slow and hungry, they still have high overhead like work comp insurance and fuel to name a few. Another plus to building now is mortgage rates are coming down and I think will continue to do so for awhile.
