Gas prices make construction jobs more expensive
June 20, 2007
The rise in gas prices has had some consequences in the construction industry, with
contractors raising prices to cover fuel for transportation and operation of moving equipment, and

holding back refinery expansions that would, in turn, help reduce the price of fuel. Engineering News-Record says the effects are
blowing holes in the construction budgets for all kinds of projects.
