informed that the mgjority of t he subcontractors had price increases, Tee rice increases N er
for a variety of reasons that included the incre,ising cost of oi gas and steel. My original budget
numbers that 1 had in the ER11 of oo would not work with the current prices, of till
sub co nt i - acto .
1 also began examining other conc nis sucli as our company's work situation slowing d own, oui
profil margins down n to almost err. our costs skyrocketing, g, and the .loubli �g or tripling prices of
gas, oil and stecL Our company has also becia a f t d by the current bank financing costs, t he
