Inflation & Escalation The first six months of 2011 were similar to 2010. Competition in 2011 & 2012 will remain very high and costs will remain at low levels. (2%-3% annual escalation). Labor and materials have increased but off-set with increased productivity and lower margins. Private markets and development are starting to resume, which will help public markets in the next year. Oil and gas pricing are a concern for 2012. School Assessments
