Glass suppliers hit the B.C. construction sector with a 40 per cent increase in the price of glass this week, adding to what many builders say are unsustainable cost increases that could lead to a wave of insolvencies.

Statistics compiled by the federal Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy show insolvencies among construction companies nationwide have increased dramatically in recent months. The first quarter saw insolvencies rise 20 per cent to 118. An additional 45 insolvencies in April pushed the total in the latest 12 months to 416, a 42 per cent increase from a year ago.
