Does anyone plan their projects out based on the current/expected cost of materials? If so, how far out do you delay starting with the expectation that costs will come down?

Not long, costs generally go up

Only plan for prices to come down if your region is falling into a recession/crash. Prices are sticky and inflation is only slowing down, not deflating. Rule of thumb is to price it until you can buy most materials (typically halfway)

I’d to get a job in a small architecture firm or work for a developer to help build up my network. For the past 6 years I’ve taught high school architecture and engineering and done real estate on the side. I have an industrial design degree and tremendous construction and real estate sales knowledge. I also started architecture school but stupidly switched to industrial design. I don’t want to go back to school for architecture. Ultimately, I want to own my own company developing real estate.

I’m 5 yrs out of college. Any advice?
