OT: Building material prices

Have building materials increased by a significant amount in the United
States in the last year to 18 months?

I remember reading in here the price of plywood, and even common studs had
gone up by quite a bit.

China has been absorbing a huge amount of steel (both new and recycled).
We have a stamping and tooling facility in China, and they are
struggling to find the resources. And electricity is tight also, they
can't run the punch presses on Sundays. Rolling blackouts occur also.
