Carl Taylor: Combined Building Supplies CEO says most builders feeling fuel price increases

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

A nationwide survey by the Combined Building Supplies Co-operative has found that 84% of members have felt moderate to significant impact from fuel price increases.  CEO Carl Taylor said some builders can't even afford to get to their work sites.  "So, clients are obviously starting to look at pausing their projects, pricing becomes harder to lock in, and the confidence drops, and that's when the activity slows," he told Andrew Dickens.
