    Resin and iso prices have been creeping up again. I have been absorbing some of it to stay competitive but it is getting tight. How are other contractors handling pricing?

    We switched to material cost plus markup model instead of fixed-price per board foot. That way when prices fluctuate we are protected. Clients get a quote good for 30 days.

    Adding a material adjustment clause to our contracts. Anything over a 5% price increase from quote date gets passed to the client. Most commercial clients understand this.

    That material adjustment clause is smart. How do clients usually react to that language?

    Honestly most do not even read it. The ones that do are usually commercial GCs who have similar clauses in their own contracts.

    We raised prices across the board by 8% in November and barely lost any work. The demand is there and our margins needed it.

    Also worth considering: locking in material orders when prices dip. We bought a 6-month supply last spring when prices were lower. Saved us considerably.
