Default uncertainty

I hope things will settle down in 2025. I get the impression GC's are quoting crazy because they have no idea what their costs will be in the next two quarters, never mind next spring. Obviously there are overquotes because they don't need the work in their current backlog. And there seems to be a mismatch between contractors who have long backlogs and lack of inventory. Shouldn't this draw more builders/developers into the business? I sit on a couple of scholarship boards. We can't get people to apply for trade scholarships. Huge missed opportunities.
