I'm sourcing contractors for an article about how material costs, tariffs, and supply pricing are affecting contractor margins in 2026. We want practical insight into how contractors are protecting profitability despite ongoing cost pressures. We're particularly interested in how contractors are adjusting purchasing strategies, pricing structures, and client communication. Questions we hope to cover include: - Which materials have been most volatile in price - Whether tariffs are still affecting your sourcing decisions - How you handle pricing changes with customers - Whether you build contingencies into contracts - Strategies you've used to protect margins - Procurement or vendor strategies that have helped stabilize costs Source requirements: - Contractors who regularly purchase building materials - Business owners preferred - Minimum 5 years of experience - Must be available for a 30-minute Google Meet interview Not a fit: Consultants or software vendors pitching products. Please include: - Name/title - Company - Years of experience - Project types - Website or LinkedIn
