If people saw how truly bad the supply situation is within the construction industry, they'd be shocked. It is across the board awful.

I've had plastic junction boxes on order since May/june for multiple large projects and have not received them. I used to have tens of thousands in stock at all times and could deliver large projects the next day.

I can't get smoke/co detectors w/ strobe, backordered for months.

Residential meter stacks have a 40 week lead time (used to be 3-4). I haven't seen a shipment of single meter sockets since May.

120/208v and 277/480 panelboards are 40 business days to ship. Used to be a week or from local stock.

600v fuses are nearly impossible to get.

2 pole 30/40/50A circuit breakers are non-existent for some reason.

All of these things are absolutely essential to building any sort of building.

I could go on and on. These are just a few examples that I had to deal with yesterday. Doesn't even take into account that all these things cost WAY more than a year ago.
