Complaints of concrete shortages pour in across the Midwest

Contractors and construction companies across the Midwest continue to report an immense backlog in cement and concrete deliveries. The delays are keeping projects from getting done on time and they could mean higher prices in the future.

“I’ve been in this 25 years and yes, it is bad,” said Chris Helm, owner of CRH Construction.

Helm, however, thinks the shortage represents what he calls a “good problem”: a surge in home improvement projects and high demand for work.

“The economy is a little better and someone’s always making money,” Helm said. “They’re cutting loose with it a little bit.”
