On November 13, AGC MA facilitated a conference call between the Mass. School Building Authority (MSBA) and AGC of America Chief Economist Ken Simonson to discuss national and local school construction cost trends. MSBA is seeking a deeper understanding of the factors behind recent, unexpected cost escalations on their school building projects. The spikes transcend Chapter 149 and 149A delivery.

 

Ken presented data on the pricing of labor and materials as well as national and state employment data. He provided expert context to the statistics in order to give MSBA better insight into the drivers behind their observations. MSBA invited Ken to look at the data on their website and to offer his assessment.
