PPG Industries
Los Angeles, CA

Servco recently built a complex, state-of-the-art aerospace manufacturing facility for PPG Industries in Los Angeles. Partnering with PPG on design/construction, Servco’s project staff answered the need for an expedited timeline in order to produce critically needed aerospace components for the US military. The build included aerospace manufacturing facilities such as clean rooms, bridge cranes, casting ovens, CNC machines, water jest and autoclave equipment.

A Note From The President

 

Is relief in sight for construction material price increases? As we head into a weakened economy due to interest rate hikes, housing and private sector construction starts are down but the government keeps spending on infrastructure projects.

January 2023 vs. January 2022 (YoY)

  • Total construction down 14%
  • Residential starts down 34%
  • Non-residential starts down 2%
  • Non-building starts (roads & infrastructure) up 10%

Last week I attended a construction conference and gained great insight into what companies are seeing across the country. Most civil and general contractors have noticed a decline or delay in multi-family and commercial construction projects but many of these contractors have large backlogs they are working through. Contractors focused on government projects are seeing great opportunities and remain optimistic for 2023. Labor shortages and material prices continue to erode contractor margins but to a lesser extent than last year.

A Note From The President

 

We are excited to share these projects with you. Servco takes great pride in building our Client’s vision. It is a blessing for us to be a part of their story.

Market trends: Lumber is back to pre-pandemic pricing! However other materials such as drywall, insulation and acoustical ceilings continue to show recent price increases. Overall construction pricing has leveled off and stabilized from the massive price hikes of the past few years.

 Wishing you a prosperous 2023!
