Annual cost growth across major western hubs remains steady, with Phoenix leading the region at 5.30%, followed by Portland at 4.74%, Seattle at 4.65%, Las Vegas at 4.45%, Los Angeles at 4.15%, and San Francisco at 4.09%.
This consistency allows for more reliable projections, though contractors are keeping a close eye on fluid global economics, geopolitical conflicts, and shifting tariff policies. Supply-side considerations remain focused on transportation and fuel costs, yet contractors maintain high confidence.
