Supply setback for builders Share
A “PERFECT storm” of bushfires, industry cutbacks, COVID, people working from home, and government incentives for new home building and renovations have led to a shortage of structural timber affecting the Victorian building industry.
The dearth of supply across the Mornington Peninsula has meant many timber yards are finding it hard to source stock for their trade customers.
There are concerns the shortage, leading to delays, will generate a “ripple effect” affecting the jobs of electricians, carpenters, joiners and others involved in home building.
Adding to the “storm” are rises in global freight charges and strong demand for timber in other countries, especially the US, absorbing supplies from European producers which traditionally would have been sent here.
