I signed a contract to get work done on my house and there have various delays before construction starts. Since then, materials costs have dropped a lot. Should I try to get any of this back?

I would but a contract is a contract

Your contract included a fixed price for materials? Or, did they order them and bill you?
Not sure I understand what the arrangement is with the contractor.
But, a contract is a contract - agree with A1

Doesn’t hurt to try

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
