Mark Rayfield, CEO of Saint-Gobain North America, discusses the state of the housing market. While supply chain disruptions are easing, the sector is still plagued by inflation, particularly in raw materials and labour. Demand for new homes and building materials is strong, as is demand in the renovation and restoration sector, which maintains the group's pricing power. Mark Rayfield also mentions sustainable construction, where the barrier to adoption is not cost but training for builders, architects and workers, he says.
