PETALING JAYA: The building and construction industry has urged the government to intervene to manage the steep rise in building materials prices in the recent month, according to a joint statement by seven organisations and associations from the industry. In the statement, they highlighted that the rise in material prices has resulted in a 13-20% increase in cost of doing business. citing that prices of some items such as mild steel and sand have jumped up by 41% and 20% respectively, since October 2020.
