In the construction industry the steel price increase was 125% for the year 2004.

Many businesses that quoted metal stud and drywall projects closed doors. Bidding on some projects are a year to a year and a half before actual installation. If they never locked in a project quote with a manufacturer they were left at the tip of the waterfall with no-place to go but over the falls, head first.
