Study: Construction aggregate prices in Florida are up by 15%

The cost of building supplies has spiked since the start of the pandemic, rising by 41.2% nationwide, according to a new study.

In Florida, prices for construction aggregate — building materials like crushed stone, sand and gravel — have increased by 15%, according to Twisted Nail LLC, which provides aggregate in Texas and studied data from the U.S. Geological Survey for its analysis.

At the national level, construction aggregate prices rose an average of 15.8% from 2019 to 2022, according to the study, meaning Florida’s price increases were slightly below the national average.
