Ongoing supply chain and labor shortage issues are slowing the construction of new homes in Middle Tennessee’s one of the State’s fastest growing areas.

The issue continues to affect builders at the national and local level also causing increased home prices and slower build times, not to mention the frustration of homebuyers and construction companies hired to build them.

The issues in manufacturing, scheduling and delivery have led to a consistent two-month delay in everyday projects. Homes that took three months to complete before the pandemic are now taking at least five months without any changes in the construction plan or any unforeseen circumstances.

Add changes to your home plan, and the delay gets longer depending on the change and the complexity of the change.
