Building costs are climbing, and not by a little.

Producer Price Index data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that prices for inputs to new nonresidential construction rose 11.9% from September 2025 to September 2026. Steel, fuel and metals led the way, and those increases are now showing up in everyday building products and delivery costs. On top of that, many steel suppliers report their order books are full through next spring, so lead times are getting longer.

For anyone planning a building, renovation or expansion, that means budgets and schedules need more attention earlier than they used to.

At Hand Construction, we're working ahead of it. We bring our trade partners in early, look at alternate materials and systems, lock in pricing and long-lead items as early as possible, and look for value at every stage, so our clients get the most out of every dollar.

Planning a project? Let's talk early.

Seeing our clients thrive, save lives, and bring new groundbreaking science to those in our community continues to remind us of why we work hard for our clients. Spine Center of Excellence's Dr. Wadhwa made history last week. Congratulations to your team and your patient!

A milestone in spine surgery, right here in Louisiana.
Congratulations to Dr. Rishi Wadhwa, neurosurgeon at the Spine Institute of Louisiana, on performing the first commercial BAGUERA® C case in the United States.

The 45-year-old patient was experiencing right arm pain, radiculopathy, and weakness after conservative treatment had failed. Dr. Wadhwa treated two cervical levels, C5/6 and C6/7, using the BAGUERA® C cervical disc replacement.
This milestone is especially meaningful as Dr. Wadhwa was involved with BAGUERA® C during its U.S. IDE study and has now performed the FIRST commercial case in the country!
We’re proud to see our physicians helping advance the future of spine care, not only here in Louisiana, but across the nation.

Congratulations, Dr. Wadhwa, on this incredible achievement!

Something big is coming to Northwest Louisiana in February 2027.

For a long time, I’ve believed we need to do a better job showing our young people the incredible number of career opportunities available in construction and the many industries that support it.

What started as an idea is becoming a reality, thanks to a lot of great people and organizations coming together.

Hand Construction is proud to invest in making it happen.

More to come soon.
