He says they all recognize the increase in price. With many building and renovation companies backed up into next year, out of the 112 booths at the show this year, just one builder stood amongst the businesses.
“And we have to work with the businesses that are out there, the cost of everything has spiraled.” 'I think we're realizing that we have to be more patient because of the chain supply,” said Fredericton Home Show manager Brian McKiel. The pandemic was to blame for the home show’s hiatus, but it’s also responsible for a lot of headaches in the home building industry. The event moved to the Atiken Centre where it's scaled back from the 200-plus booths seen in previous years. The Fredericton Home Show made a comeback after two years this weekend.
